Re: the More Strong Argument to think that John the Baptist was the Samaritan Messiah killed by Pilate
How can Marcion be opposed to John when baptism is the central tenet to Marcion's theology? If anything John the Baptist is a proxy for the earliest layer of Marcion, even more so if you assume ur-John was Marcion's actual text. Jesus and John are practically the same person. Now Herod the tetrarch ...

Marcion calls John the Baptist the greatest prophet of all time.
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women a greater prophet than John the Baptist, there is none
