That's a silly comment. Why would the Catholic Church canonize a Bible that contradicts it's own dogma? Don't you think they would at least omit those books that do not fit their view, as Luther did when he omitted the deuterocanonicals and considered omitting James? Doesn't make any sense, because it's just not true.

Not silly at all...And there are two answers to that question...

That's God's book...It doesn't belong to your religion...If you took out the parts that condemned your church, your bible would be about the size of a comic book...A small comic book...

So your religion added to it to make it look like theirs...

And then your religion burned as many scriptures as they could get their hands on hoping to destroy the faith of millions....

But God honored His word...He preserved His word in your religion and outside of your religion thru all those Christians your church labeled as heretics while burning them at the stake...

Your church made the scriptures unavailable to the general public for centuries...They were afraid people would find out what's in the scriptures...

I read that even priests were prohibited and definitely discouraged from reading the scriptures...

But they couldn't get away with it forever...And they didn't...And look what happened when those scriptures got into the hands of the people...Millions upon millions of people turned to Jesus, side-stepping your popes and religion...

You seem to be greatly confused. Bdeaner is Catholic, you are not describing the Catholic Church (”your religion”).
