Here is an author who maintains that the disciple Mark, the Apostle Paul and Marcion the heretic are all three one and the same person.

Quote:

...I hope to lay out the evidence from Tertullian, Ephrem and Eznik which suggests that those who followed this Mark called 'Marcion' actually held that:

(a) Jesus DID NOT ever claim to be the messiah,
(b) that Jesus was THE angel of the presence who came to herald someone else as the messiah and
(c) that 'someone else' was the guy who wrote the apostolic letters we attribute to some guy whose name changed to 'Paulos' after a revelation from heaven and
(d) that this 'someone' else called 'Paulos' was Mark viz. Marcion.

If I get at least some nominal interest in these lines of proof I will demonstrate my theory that the the title Paulos is a Greek rendering of the Samaritan interpretation - or more specifically the authoritative interpretation originally established by Marqe the son of Titus - to the tamym po'olo (Deuteronomy 32:4) of the 'Great Song' of the first apostle Moses (Marqe being of course the second and last apostle).

Quote:

Mark put himself forward as this new perfect work (Aramaic: tamym po’olo) and so it was that his Catholic name “Paulos” was established. For already in the traditions of Moses there is reference to this concept of the “perfect work.” It appears in the messianic “Great Song” of Deuteronomy chapter 32. If Mark was the tamym po’olo prophesied in that song, then the apostle was at once also perfect “Paul.”
