You spoke that the Church does not ‘intervene’. Who put the entire bible together that you use to evangelize?

Clearly not Rome. The Jews were the custodians of what we call the Old Testament beginning some 1400 years before Jesus was crucified. In these 39 books, most of the foretelling, foundational doctrine was delivered such that we would even recognize Jesus as the One promised. This is why Paul notes the honored place Israel holds.

Paul's work is self-identifying and the balance was commonly used by the end of the first century. Let's see...this puts the entire book available to churches 200-300 years before the words Roman Catholic were even used. Hmm.
