Re: The gospel writers saw Jesus as an angel figure, gave him a version of the name Yahweh
Most High = Ὑψίστου Of its eight uses in the NT, five are in Luke (with three of those five being in Luke 1: in vv. 32, 35 and 76; and one in each of Luke 6:35 and 8:28); one in each of Acts 16:17 and Hebrews 7:1; and, as noted, in Mark 5:7). ὑψίστοις = 'in the highest' is in Mark 11:1, Matthew 21:9...

[Marcion] opposed allegorical reading of the scriptures, which was the main distinguishing feature where he stood out from Basilides and Valentinus.

Added more text after Peter's highlights to tease this out: Clement of Alexandria writes ( Stromateis 2.7-8): To these, then, and certain others, especially the Marcionites , the Scripture cries, though they listen not, “He that heareth me shall rest with confidence in peace, and shall be tranquil, ...

Re: the apostle
Now the apostle, whom they do not comprehend I'm interested to know who the apostle is. From https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-stromata-book2.html For how ever could the soul admit the transcendental contemplation of such themes, while unbelief respecting what was to be learned st...

Also in Photius, Bibliotheca fol. 238 - before, "James, the brother of the Lord" - is, Agrippa the Great, reigned over the Jews, says Josephus, by filling them with his favours. It was to please them, apparently , that he killed with the sword James the brother of John , and that he tried...
