What is Marcion of Sinope's relation to the biblical canon which mainstream Christians accept today?
Marcion first developed a canon - though heretical - which fast-tracked the Early Church's need to more precisely list which books carried apostolic authority, which had already begun in the first of the 2nd century.
Marcion's rejection of the OT and belief that the GOD of the OT was different from the NT caused Christians to defend that the Bible is one coherent book.
Marcion proves that we have no right to act as editor of God’s Word, but we must accept and believe the “whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) and “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people” (Jude 1:3).
Marcion's specific removal and denial of many New Testament books from his own canon, including all of Peter, James and John, proves they were already in use between 125-144 AD and widely accepted as scripture.
