“We know it’s God’s Word because the Church said so and it had the teaching authority to make that declaration, because it’s teaching authority was established by Christ Himself through the apostles and apostolic succession.”

The early Catholic church had an impact on the bible. They didn’t write it and they didn’t ‘approve’ it, and they didn’t make it authentic.

The Bible can be traced from Today back to its original writings. IMO the Catholic church should focus more on saving souls than trying to prove they have a unique angle on salvation.

Then, please tell me, how do you know the Bible is authentic? How do you know with certainty that it is the inspired Word of God? By what authority? Did Jesus come down from the sky and hand it to you personally? If not, what makes you so certain that "Jesus is the way"?

The early Catholic Church had an impact on the Bible.

Of course she did! Sts. Peter & Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, etc....all fathers of the Catholic Church.

They didn’t write it and they didn’t ‘approve’ it, and they didn’t make it authentic.

This represents a 500-year-old revision of 1500 years of history, but it is not accurate.

Well put.
