Marcionism is the dualist belief system that originates in the teachings of Marcion of Sinope at Rome around the year 144 AD. Marcion affirmed Jesus Christ as the savior sent by God but denied the incarnation of God in Jesus as a human. Marcion also rejected the Hebrew Bible and declared that the God of the Hebrew Bible was a lesser demiurge, who had created the earth, but was (de facto) the source of evil.
