I will be frank. I believe you sincerely mean what you say, but you are making statements about the origins of the Bible that have no factual basis. How do you hope to win anyone who has access to the facts of history?
And in this I am not picking on Catholicism. I urge you to find yourself a good Catholic scholar on Biblical history, perhaps a professor at a Catholic university with a good reputation, and see what he or she thinks of your theory. You should really do that.
Or perhaps just as useful, point me to a scholarly, objective, documented, neutral source on the web, or in a book, one we can both respect, that says Jerome completed the first Bible.
What you are really doing is asking me to abandon all objective knowledge and make a leap of private judgment into accepting whatever you say, without questioning whether it is really true. Do you really think any reasonable person would do that?

Heard it already, you’re repeating yourself SR. Blinded,
is the word. The Bible didn’t come complete, you can know
where it came from. You reject a basic fact of Christianity.
Most Protestant ministers acknowledge the Bible is Catholic.
“Your theory”....?
Vague, avoiding, not wanting to address two facts, the most
Holy Eucharist is true and the Bible is Catholic.
There are libraries full to give proof. You ask show me... You won’t take two saint’s words for the truth or, makes one cry, Christ Himself in John 6. How about Eucharistic miracles?
“Perhaps” and “scholarly”...phony and self important words while you avoid the Truth brother. Some of the most scholarly people have denied the Truth. Be real. You can change, I pray.
It’s possible, ask Our Lord in prayer, ask Him if it’s true His presence in the Eucharist? Believe, all your misunderstandings about the faith will fall away. Desire the Eucharist.
God bless you,
p.s. Your responses to a couple of Catholics here, ask them, they will help you. Watch this scientist describe
the miraculous findings in this Eucharistic miracle which took place in Argentina a few years ago. 900,000 plus views.
