THE ANCIENT "HERETICAL" CHURCH OF MARCION, 144 AD.
The Marcionites believed that a God of Love became horrified by what the Biblical Creator God was doing to the humans (sending them to eternal torture in Hell).
So the God of Love sent HIS son, Jesus Christ, to rescue the humans from their Creator.
