Bravo!
As for your fine quote, here:
“But even before the Bible was assembled by the Catholic Church in 362....”.
Right there. I say, right there, is why it makes the head explode to have to listen to the round up make tossed salad of the sacred scriptures, all to use against Catholics. LOL!
Do they even know who assembled the Bible? Do they even know the year? I mean, after all, it isn’t in the Bible. Could they even touch that with a ten foot pole?
Can they understand that it was the Church that gave us the Bible, NOT the other way around? THAT is basic truth, and understood in the Bible, but not in the eyes of the beholders of their own interpretation.
It must be blasphemy for protestants to hear of, and from, the Apostolic Fathers, the Early Fathers, the Didache, the Jewish roots of the Eucharist and of the Sacraments.
This chortling culminates around here in a cacophony of mostly anti-Catholic grudges garnered from the mouths of fallen or former Catholics, and other protestants armed with chapter and verse with no universal context or theology in sight.
See that? NOT the Catholics. Catholics came along much later and corrupted and added to what the Jews had been entrusted with.
>>But even before the Bible was assembled by the Catholic Church in 362.....<<
God also used Judas to establish His will. Should we list some of the others? Like Harod or Pontius Pilate? Maybe Balaam's donkey?
>>It must be blasphemy for protestants to hear of, and from, the Apostolic Fathers, the Early Fathers, the Didache<<
In Revelation John recorded how 85% of the churches had already gone into error. Yet you want to rely on some suspect writings long after that? Paul wrote that anyone who taught something they didn't should be considered accursed.
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Catholics can't prove that what they are being taught was actually taught by the apostles.
>>protestants armed with chapter and verse with no universal context or theology in sight.<<
The fear of scripture that Catholics have is palpable. Like Muslims and Mormons they rely on teaching other than scripture.

Yes we definitely know who assembled the Bible, and we also know who burned as much of it as he and his armies could find.
The Hebrews, known in the scriptures that Yeshua read constantly as the “People for my name” wrote and assembled all of the Bible in his language, before Constantine and his cult set out to eradicate it, and Yehova’s People for His Name.
No amount of catholic falsehood will ever be able to change that fact.
.
Assembling the Bible was not rocket science. It would have happened sometime by someone.
It’s hardly anything worth taking credit for.
Scripture was Scripture before the Bible was assembled and the RCC can take NO credit for giving us Scripture without taking from God the credit and glory due HIM and Him alone for it.
The Catholic church did NOT give us the Bible.
God gave it to us.
