One Gospel. One Faith. One God. Once the largest Pre-Nicene Christian denomination in the world, the Marcionite Christian Church was founded in 144 A.D. by Saint Marcion of Sinope and is the birthplace of the very first Christian bible compiled that same year. The church is also home to the world's oldest carved inscription in the world dedicating a Christian church and bearing the name of Jesus and it reads: "To our Lord and Savior Jesus the Good," written in Koine Greek.
The foundational canon of the Marcionite Christian Church is The Very First Bible of 144 A.D., consisting of the Evangelion (Gospel of The Lord) and the Apostolikon (Apostle Paul's original ten epistles).
"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of
me is not after man.
For I neither received it of man, but by the revelation of Jesus
Christ."
Galatians 1:8-9
God was only revealed to us through His Son, Jesus Christ, through whom all was created. The only way to the Father is through the Son.
Jesus, who transcends race for the salvation of all, descended from heaven in the 15th year of Tiberius Caesar (29 A.D.) and took on a fully human adult form. After the resurrection He ascended back to heaven.
There is one God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Marcionites are not Gnostics.
Marriage, baptism and mass are among the traditional rites and sacraments celebrated by the Marcionite Christian Church.
There is one gospel - The Gospel of The Lord - the revelation received bythe Apostle Paul directly from Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus in 34 A.D. Our canon consists of the Evangelion and Apostolikon (the original ten epistles of Paul).
