Umarsioni

Umarsioni ulikuwa aina ya Ukristo iliyoenea sana katika karne za kwanza za Kanisa ikifundisha uwepo wa miungu wawili, mmoja mwema na wa kweli (yule wa Injili), mwingine mbaya (yule Muumba wa Agano la Kale). Jina lilitokana na lile la mwanzilishi wake, Marsioni, mtoto wa askofu wa Sinope, Ponto, leo nchini Uturuki. Alipohamia Roma katikati ya karne ya 2, alifundisha na kuandika hayoHistory of the Christian Church, Volume II: Ante-Nicene Christianity. A.D. 100–325. Marcion and his School by PHILIP SCHAFF , akikataa vitabu vyote vya Biblia isipokuwa Injili ya Luka aliyoifupisha na barua 10 za Mtume Paulo. Maandishi yake yamepotea, lakini yanajulikana kupitia yale ya Tertuliani na Mababu wa Kanisa waliompinga mapema.
