Another proof that 'Paul' was identified as 'Marcion' among the Marcionites

A sample of what appears in the Real Messiah order it here

3. Eznik of Kolb 363

But Paul they say was snatched into the third heaven and words unutterable which we proclaim here. Now here Paul says “that which is not fitting for men to speak.” (2 Cor 12:4) Thus that Marcion if he were someone of the race of man, for him too the words would be unspeakable. In fact he is a man, and worse than all men, having forsaken the truth of the Spirit still he sits patching together fables. He has been emboldened to such an extent by means of a Satanic nature that he culls so as to subtract from the messages of the Holy Spirit choosing to accept only part of the Gospel and to abandon part; so likewise choosing to deny the Apostolic Letters and all of the Old Testament, as if it were given by a foolish one and not a good one. And the Apostle says, “Unutterable are the words that he heard,” and Marcion says “I heard (them).” Thus is it fitting to listen to the Apostle who reckoned those words to be unutterable, or to Marcion, who has scattered and drags the words across a field?
