Well, the Protestants of the 16th century weren’t using a “66 book bible” either, so what does that prove

it proves to me that some believe God is the author of confusion, I don’t place myself in that camp.

the Muslims must be laughing their butt off when some say the Christians were using the wrong Bible for 1,500 years.

I think you’ve missed my point. Just because they weren’t using a “66 book Bible” doesn’t mean that their Bible was wrong.

They had a Bible, both before and after the Reformation, that included the same books. Those books, both before and after the Reformation, included some that were never part of the Hebrew canon, and which were clearly delineated from the Old Testament canonical books.

Then, AFTER the Reformation, the Catholics decided to declare those non-canonical books canonical.

So, if anyone decided they were using the “wrong Bible” after 1500 years, it would appear to be the Catholics.
