You mean the Bible that the Catholic Church compiled and Catholics determined what would be divinely inspired and not be considered divinely inspired and the Word of God.

Aren't you the one who claimed to have a masters degree in theology? How is it you can seriously say that the Catholic Church "determined what would be divinely-inspired" Scripture or not??? Am I to understand that you think your church had the power to thumbs up or thumbs down what Almighty God delivered to the believers? That your church could tell the Holy Spirit what they would keep and what they would chuck? Is that how you imagine we got the Old Testament Scriptures as well? Not just presumptuous, but blasphemous as well. Here are some links that explain how we really got the sacred Scriptures:

The Formation of the Canon of the New Testament

On the Formation of the New Testament Canon

The Pre-Reformation History of the Bible

I am saying when the Bible was compiled the only Christians were Catholic. Therefore, Catholics COMPILED THE BIBLE.

The reformation was still hundreds of years away. The Bible
is a Catholic document. Without the Catholic Church there would be no gospels. The Catholic Church came before the gospels.

“The Formation of the Canon of the New Testament”

Glad you posted the above link. Every Church father mentioned in the development of the Bible was Catholic.
