Your answer is nonsensical. Most assuredly elements of the Bible pre-date Christianity. That was not the question. The question is which CHRISTIAN religion predates Catholicism?
My answer was not nonsensical. Catholicism didn't show up for several hundred years after Christ. Those Christians before the church showed up were Christian--and they pre-dataed catholicism.
And they only followed Scripture.
