Bible and Catholic church

The Bible has been translated many times in many different languages and time periods to help others understand it. Unfortunately, many translations can cause different interpretations, hence why we have a Church that is an infallible religious authority on interpreting it correctly. Why would we trust the Catholic Church to guide us in our personal relationship with God? Because the Church provides consistency across generations, guarding against personal bias, and protects believers from doctrinal errors that can arise from misinterpretation. The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the mid-20th century. These ancient manuscripts date from roughly the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE and include parts of the Old Testament. The scrolls have confirmed to scholars that the Biblical texts have been remarkably well preserved over a millennium. Some passages even match the Masoretic Text exactly. The accuracy between the Dead Sea Scrolls and later Hebrew manuscripts is often cited to be around 99.5%. I believe knowing this proves the Catholic Church has kept up with being dedicated to the accuracy of the teachings of Christ, as the Catholic Church preserved, copied, translated and transmitted the Biblical texts throughout history. Much of the tradition and the Bible books would have been lost today if it weren’t for the Church’s leadership and efforts to keep them. Martin Luther, a man acting on his own judgment, rejected portions of the Church’s established canon, despite the fact now we know those books had been proven to be historically accurate and true to the original texts. As a result, some books are actually missing from many Protestant Bibles (such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 and 2 Maccabees, and additions to Esther and Daniel), and even the remaining texts often show variations. ←
