Thanks Stephan. I must say I'm fascinated by all this. Out of my depth, but fascinated.

Going right out on a limb here......are you suggesting that Paul was 'morphed'....into the official holy ghost? :]

Just asking. Not asserting, approaching, or concluding.

I think, having done some supportive googling of a number of items following your post, I'm not entirely averse to considering that the Marcionites may have had Paul as the Paraclete.
