An early Christian from 140 AD who could not understand how the jealous war-like God of the Old Testament could be the same as the Loving Father God that Jesus preached. He had a large following. The Marcionites rejected the Old Testament and many of the New Testament books except for the Gospel of Luke and a few of Paul's .
I have continued to wrestle with this same problem.
All of the writings of Marcion and his followers were destroyed, so we don't really know what else he taught but I have for many years wondered if he might be right.
