Nope, Roman Emperor Constantine commissioned the original Bible as a state document and in a way he federalized christianity in Ancient Rome.

LOL, where did you study history, Jack Chick U?

Constantine repealed the laws against Christianity and eventually made Christianity the State Religion, but he did NOT "commission[ed] the original Bible"! The Old Testament existed long before his reign and the New predated him by many years.

When you make something a state religion, you federalize and take control of it.

The Bible is what you get when parts of the Old Testament were put with the New Testament.
