Marcionite Eccl.|ˈmɑːʃ(ɪ)ənaɪt|
Also 6 erron. Marcianite.
[ad. late L. Marciōnīt-a, f. Marcion: see -ite.]
An adherent of the sect founded at Rome in the 2nd century by Marcion of Sinope.
Marcion accepted as sacred books ten of St. Paul's epistles and a garbled form of the gospel of Luke, and regarded the creation of the material world and the revelation of the Old Testament as the work of a finite and imperfect God, whose authority is abrogated by the manifestation of the supreme God in Jesus Christ. He discouraged marriage, and inculcated the most rigorous asceticism.
