That’s right. Paul started the church and there was no Bible. His letters to the different early churches was part of the Bible.

In the beginng was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Bible, being the written Word of God, existed before the Church. Christ himself quoted Holy Scripture - the written Word of God at the time.

The Church was here before the Bible. But not before the Torah.

The Church was here before the Bible. Which means what? Why do you continually post this assertion but refuse to answer questions as to its polemic?
Are you saying that the Divine promises of His presence and preservation, (Jn. 14:16; 16:13) necessitate an infallible church, and that being the historical instruments and stewards of Scripture means they are the infallible interpreters of it, so that dissent from them is rebellion against God?
