Certain portions of the article, particularly in the last paragraph, seemed excessively informal or stylistically awkward, and I felt that they unnecessarily championed Marcion's views and that of his supporters. If they are correct they will stand on their own; in the meantime, to quote Jack Webb, "I just want to get the facts, ma'am."

"For an example of evidence that may support this view, compare Luke 5:39 to Luke 5:36-38..." (The reader may not know Luke by heart. Could these quotes be intered in full? --Wetman 05:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)



"Marcion deleted 5:39 from his Gospel"
Actually I think he used the Backspace key. This should probably be changed to "removed" or "excluded." Cabbruzz (talk) 17:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

"Deleted" isn't just a computing term. I think the word works fine here. Evercat (talk) 00:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
