Who said the Catholic Church gave us a Bible? Catholics have Bibles, just like everyone else.We know King James made one. Where is the Bible that the Catholic Church allegedly gave us?

There was no printed bible to give anyone for nearly 1,500 years. The Christian world truly has the Catholic Church to thank for the Holy Bible. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Catholic Church definitively established the canon of scripture in 382 A.D. at the Council of Rome, which was convened under the leadership of Pope Damasus. Catholic monks diligently preserved hand-copied pages of scripture for centuries. In 1080, bible chapter numbers were assigned by a Catholic Bishop, Stephen Langton. The first printed bible was printed by a Catholic, Johannes Gutenberg, in 1455.
Well if you said the catholic church (small c) I would agree with you.There was no printed bible to give anyone for nearly 1,500 years.

Marcion was branded a heretic and antichrist and swas formally excommunicated in 144 AD. He rejected all of our NT writings except the Pauline Epistles.The Marcionite Bible was put together and was used in 144Ad. You can buy one on Amazon. (I'm not discussing Marcion here.), but he was big in the first century

I know that, didn't you see where wrote, I wasn't discussing Marcion?Marcion was branded a heretic and antichrist and swas formally excommunicated in 144 AD. He rejected all of our NT writings except the Pauline Epistles.
It is the catholic(universal, small c) church that created the bible. The catholic(small c) is the body of Christ found in all sects and denominations of Christendom. The Catholic (big C)church is the Roman Church and it associates that accept the pope as a successor to the apostles.We're told that the "Catholic Church" created the Bible but don't actually have one to show. Interesting.
Keep following this popcorn trail. Who gave us the first bible? It certainly was not Jesus.We're told that the "Catholic Church" created the Bible but don't actually have one to show. Interesting.

This is a good popcorn trail to follow. Who gave us the first bible? It certainly was not Jesus. Jesus himself actually never writes anything down, and He never left us a bible as a sole authority. He left us a church, the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Tim 3:15)
It’s the copy you hold in your hands. That one. Though yours may or may not have the complete canon of 73 books. The Holy Spirit guided the Catholic Church (capital C) in canonizing the table of contents for Sacred Scripture. There was not “official bible” before this. So what did Christians do for 300+ years after Christ? They didn’t (indeed, they couldn’t) read their bible. What they did was go to Mass on Sundays. All well documented in the Didache (50-90 AD)The topic is where is that so-called "Bible" that the Catholic Church brags about creating.
