I keep hearing this "we gave you the Bible" tripe from RCs. Sorry dude You construct straw man and boldly knock it down -whoopee!
Your straw man does not address the statement: "the Catholic Church decided which books would become part of the canonical Bible"
Other than attempting to toot your own horn at the expense of others -you contribute nothing to this discussion.

You can't read. The Septuagint was translated from Hebrew to Greek in 270 BCE. - which predates the Roman "church" by about 500 years. The same thirty-nine books in your "Old Testament" are in the Septuagint. The "church" canonized nothing except your dreams. Sheesh, you guys are the greatest revisionists ever. I can tell you that my copy of the Masor has not the slightest hint of Roman Catholicism in it. It was not canonized by the Roman church. You own Judaism 2/3s of your Bible, bud. If it had not been for the Ben Asher family Jerome wouldn't have been able to SPELL Israel.
