Which Apostles gave us the Scripture and when?

The Apostles and the Disciples gave us the scriptures orally when they were taught them from God and then in written form when the Disciples put their teaching to papyrus...

Now, now, quit waffling. Which Apostles gave us the Scriptures and when? Name and year, please, since you are apparently expert.

Sure, at Councils such as Nicea, Constantinople and Hippo.

No, long before that...God had nothing to do with your man made councils...

Who, where and when, please.

We have a written record of what the Apostles taught and they didn't teach anything like your religion puts out

Izzat so? Okay, then. What was everything that Peter taught? Everything that Paul taught? Everything that James, and Thomas and Jude and everyone else? Come on, name the texts of everything that they taught.

That's how we know yours is not the real church...We have the written record...

Really? The originals? Please produce them, oh keeper of the ages.

"Really? The originals? Please produce them, oh keeper of the ages."

You'll find the oldest bible extant is now the Latin Vulgate, (the official bible of the Catholic Church). Saint Jerome, (or just Jerome to you apostates), had access to the Hebrew and Green originals when he and his team of scholars traveled to Jerusalem to assemble a Bible, once and for all time, that could be considered "inspired". The "apocrapha", the false gosples, (such as the gospel of Thomas, etc, and the questionable epistles were eliminated. It took over 20 years labor to complete a Bible that could be relied upon as "infallible Scripture". Since the Latin Vulgate was written word-for-word from the Greek and Hebrew originals, you must defer to the Vulgate for the oldest, closet to the actual times, version of sacred scripture. (though there are some partial pages extant that are older than the Vulgate, the Latin Vulgate remains the oldest and most reliable Bible on earth, thanks to the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

In his book "Confessions", (or perhaps it was City of God, I'm not sure), St. Augustine, who lived during the time of St. Jerome wrote this about the Latin Vulgate. "The Jews themselves were impressed by its accuracy"; and so was Saint Augustine equally impressed, and Augustine is one of several of the greatest Christian scholars to ever live.
