Did I understand correctly:
Paul could hardly be clearer:
“For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth […] yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things […] and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things.”
— 1 Corinthians 8:5–6
This is the heart of Marcionite monotheism as we understand it: there is one God, the Father revealed by Christ.
The Father is the supreme source of all reality. Everything ultimately proceeds from Him and nothing stands above Him. But being the ultimate source of all things does not necessarily mean directly administering every mechanism of the material world.
The cosmos has its own order, constraints, and physical laws. Disease, ageing, death, natural disasters, and physical causality need not be transformed into individual acts of divine intervention.
This is precisely where the false problem of “two gods” disappears.
There are not two. There is One: the Father.
The world and its laws stand beneath Him. And Christ does not come to reveal a second deity: He reveals to humanity the supreme God, the Father.
