Marcionites [Catholic Encyclopedia]
Said that the creator "god" of the Old Testament was not the good God and Father of Jesus
Christ of the New Testament. Had their own shadow hierarchy and their own Bible, which consisted of
parts of Luke and Paul, edited so as to disparage the Old Testament. Only the unmarried were
allowed to be baptized. Marcionism may have led to the formation of the Apostle's Creed as
rebuttal, and certainly was an incentive in deciding on the canon of the New Testament.
