Marcion of Sinope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcion_of_Sinope Prior to him there was, quite literally, no Bible. Though even going with the Nicean council you still end up with some funk such as how the Romans worked with northern Jerusalem as their "experts" and because the north and south were feuding many of the choices from the time explicitly were made because of that feud. That version of the bible is mired in politics of the era, and even if it's in a different way that one is also pretty bad. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?
