All bibles aernt basically the same today,what nonsence
It only takes a small reading of the never inspired version niv and new age versions like that and compare the changes to the authorised version kjv ,there is something 30000 words changed etc
All you really get from Ppm is catholic history and the version he was taught from kindergarten as fact
Which it isnt,its the catholic versions of christianity
So a question like this has to be broken down into two parts
one for the Hebrew Bible ( the "Old Testament") and one for the New Testament
Every Bible begins, literally, with the Hebrew Bible, the Tanakh, 24 books considered canonical by the Jews.
The Catholic Church had no role whatsoever in establishing this canon of the Hebrew Bible!
The latest books in the Tanakh -- Esther, Daniel, Chronicles -- as well as the earliest were all written prior to the existence of Christianity.
The canon of the Hebrew Bible was closed by Jewish authorities no later than the end of the 1st cent. CE -- with no input from any church authorities.
Hence at the time of Jesus, there was no Bible except the Tanakh.
This Hebrew Bible was the Bible of Jesus and the apostles.
They quoted from it repeatedly, using their interpretations of it to support the claims made for Jesus. Since it had already been translated into Greek, the Septuagint (although not an exact translation), it was available to Greek-speakers as well as Hebrew and Aramaic speakers.
So the story of "the Bible's creation" is first a story of the formation of the Jewish canon of the Tanakh, and then a separate story of what the various church authorities accepted, added and subtracted over the years to form today's Christian Bibles
The new testament books were decided upon well before there was a Rcc
There was no “Catholic Church” as we know it today.
It was only a Christian church when the Bible was compiled.
The Schism of 1054 created what we now call the Catholic Church and separated them from the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Protestant Reformation opened the door to a variety of Christian beliefs
The Septuagint, used by Jesus' disciples, was a Jewish creation nothing to do with anyone else
