“Kosta is correct. Without the Catholic Church, you have no more proof that the Bible is the Word of God than you do for the Koran.”
Is the Bible, standing by itself, the Word of God?

The original manuscripts, perhaps.
In any case, an agency translating the currently available texts must be employed since they are not clear, neither are they simple. You may choose: a translator of men, or a translator commissioned by Jesus.
Unless your indwelling Holy Spirit provides you with a Urim and Thummim in order to understand what you dig up.

MarkBsnr: Kosta is correct. Without the Catholic Church, you have no more proof that the Bible is the Word of God than you do for the Koran I do not need physical "proofs" - the indwelling Spirit authenticates the Scriptures as His own by bringing them alive within.
They are unlike any other manuscript.
The Word of God is alive, is Jesus Christ.
And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. - Revelation 19:13
