    It is also important to note that the bible was curated (and probably even edited) by the Catholic Church in the past. So what you read is only what they want(ed) you to read to begin with. I would really like to get into the apocrypha at some point - especially into alternative descriptions to the biblical canon

      I don’t think it’s accurate to only indicate the Roman catholic church. The creation of the bible was a process of curation and editing intentional and accidental.

      But the Roman catholic church is defo responsible for the inclusion of the Johannine Comma in the KJV. (Because they fraudulently inserted it into a copy of a Greek manuscript they produced to claim that clause’s authenticity)
