I don't know where you're getting this from. Galatians does not say, hint, or imply that Jesus was born of a woman.
Now you know: from Galatians 4:4
And because you think it is a later interpolation, that does not mean "Galatians does not say, hint, or imply that Jesus was born of a woman".

Cordially, Bernard
I believe freedom of expression should not be curtailed

It's not myself who believe it to be an interpolation. Tertullian had that particular statement as missing from the Marcionite (i.e., real, authentic) form. Thus I don't consider it nothing but an attempt by later Christians to instill the idea that Jesus had a mother or birth into his (Paul's) writings, as in the case of the Pastorals.

It's clear that the underlying theological belief in Marcion is:

1) Christ's death and resurrection

2) Paul's rebirth through revelation

So try again.
