Correct me if I'm wrong. Is the bible written by Konstantin and the church back then? If so how much of the bible is original and how much was rewritten by the church? Do we know?
Quite confused here. Forgive me if I didn't make too much sense.

Constantine's contribution to Scripture is 0%.
The Synod of Hippo and the Councils of Carthage determined canon, but they did not rewrite the Scriptures, they just confirmed certain books as canonical.

can you tell me more about what konstantine and the church then had to do with the bible? Is it even possible that they may have rewritten parts of them to their own advantage?

I would say probably not, as the writings that were selected to be in the Canon of Scripture were very well known and popular among the many individual Churches of the time.
Nlow is it possible that they did not include all the writings that were writtne by the Apostles; yes.
IN First Corinthins Paul states;
(1Co 5:9) I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
So evidently Paul had written a letter to Corinth before First Corinthians. Ws it lost, was it only repetative and thus not needed? I don't know.
There is no evidence that any of the Early Church changed any of the Writings that they gathered for the Canon of Scripture we call the Bible.
All that Constatine seemed to do was bring to an end the major persacutions of Christians by the Roman Empire.
Thanks
RC

Considering the number of manuscripts that we have that date from up to 100 years before Constantine was even born, it is virtually impossible that any rewrite at all was possible.
Any attempt at rewriting scripture would be immediately apparent as the older manuscripts were compared to those after the rewriting.

Many people will say that Constantine, any council especially Nicene in saying the trinity was not part of the bible or doctrine till then as the Nicene council wrote a creed that strongly states the Jesus was indeed God and the second person of trinity. Those who take certain scriptures out of context and do not include many scriptures will say there is only one God one personage of God and will say Jesus never claimed to be God or was ever claimed to be God. When any trinitarian points to the Bible or Nicene Creed the person denying it will say the bible was rewritten. There are also may who make the same claim of King James which was simply an interpretation which we have much evidence that it was not different. When people want to prove false doctrines the claim corrupt Bible not knowing anything of history or truth.
