The Bible was given to us in spite of the Catholic Church, not because of it. If Catholics believed the Bible, there would BE no Catholic Church.

See missing Apocrypha for more information on what the Catholic Church wanted mankind to believe was the inspired word of God.

So that people can see the truth for themselves:

Bible


"We are compelled to concede to the Papists
that they have the Word of God,
that we received it from them,
and that without them
we should have no knowledge of it at all."

~ Martin Luther

"The Bible was given to us in spite of the Catholic Church, not because of it."

Your opinion simply does not match the facts. I would recommend that you objectively study the subject and abandon those sources who stand to benefit from the destruction of the Church.
