Oh please -- these backhanded slaps at scripture by implying that Paul might have been a gnostic are too much. Since Luke's Gospel was a favorite of Marcion's, then he too must have been a gnostic or had gnostic followers according to your reasoning. The same could be said of all the writers of scripture that the gnostics quoted Marcion specifically considered Paul's Epistles as the 'canon.' If he had affinity for Luke, it's because of Luke's affinity for Paul.
