Best Answer

The New Testament was written by the apostles and disciples. The Catholic Church later (The Bible didn't come around for a while after Christ died) viewed what really were documents and letters and determined which ones were written in inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament was the Jews "bible".

What Scriptures did the Catholic Church change in the Bible?

Roman Catholic AnswerYou are operating with a mistaken assumption. The Catholic Church wrote the Bible, the Catholic Church decided which books were canonical (included in the Bible), and the Catholic Church has conserved the Bible through the centuries. The only ones who changed any Scriptures in the Bible are the protestants, who, after fifteen centuries of a Bible preserved by the Catholic Church came along and threw books out of the Bible, and changed the meanings of books they would not throw out.
