Why do you care about the source if it isn’t the Bible? I don’t know what to say to your belief that writing out a Bible wasn’t a hard, lengthy process. It was and it should be obvious by how thick a Bible is. There was no way most people could have a Bible before the printing press and so what did they do? They followed the guidance of the Church. They didn’t sit around and interpret Scripture for themselves. And Catholics appeal to widespread illiteracy because it is a fact and strengthens even more the need for a teaching church.

And I don't know what to say about your reading comprehension because I did NOT say what you are claiming.

I said that I didn't think it would take 39 years to copy a Bible. I didn't say that it wasn't a difficult or lengthy process.

And if/when the church gets it wrong, then what do they do?

They didn’t sit around and interpret Scripture for themselves.

They couldn't because they didn't have it.

Yeah, that's why the Catholic Church had to threaten people to make them turn in their copies. /s
