Before it was collected as a compendium of official parts, sure, but most of the individual books (both the ones that made it into the current version and additional ones that ended up being rejected) were around. The Old Testament ones were already written down, and most of the Gospels were at least oral tradition very early on.

I believe it was over one hundred years before the Gospels were all written down, and early Christian sects had passionate disagreement over which texts were official or hearsay, but it's not like they were completely without religious texts.

    Put in modern terms, the Bible is a multiverse of fanfiction, with many different parts written by many different authors, some of the authors came later than others and wrote entries despite many of the earlier authors having abandoned their accounts long ago. Because of this there's much disagreement as to which works are canon and which are just fanfiction. And later on when a compendium of the collected works was published, many works were excluded, and many had edits made for print that weren't present in the original forum versions.

    So the fandom has tons of opinions regarding which works are canon, and a few of the original forum posts were preserved so there is even more opinions but ultimately the forum was shut down a decade ago so mostly its all hearsay and various individual opinions and headcanons about it but finding the one true canon is basically impossible in part because there may not have ever been one true canon
