The "pillar" and "ground" of the truth --- the structure that upholds God's truth on earth --- is the Church of God.

But it's not...The structure that upholds God's truth on Earth is the word(s) of God...God's words; God...

The church(es) are built upon the words of God, not the other way around...

The Catholic religion is built upon the words of men, with a shred of bible thrown in...

Jas_1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

The words of God save us, not the words of men in any church or any where else...

Joh_17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

God's words are truth, not the words of men which are added to the Bible...

Just because your religion makes the claim and you and others agree with it doesn't mean there's an ounce of truth to it...Doesn't matter what you say...It what God says that matters...And we all have that record of the saving words of God...

Here's the Scripture we're talking about:

1 Timothy 3:14-15
These things I write to you,
though I hope to come to you shortly;
but if I am delayed, I write
so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself
in the house of God, which is the church of the living God,
the pillar and ground of the truth.

If you would check a variety of translations, you will get the solid realization that we, the church, God's assembly, are to be this pillar and foundation upholding the truth, which is Jesus ("I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life").

...and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth thee to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the truth.Young's Literal Translation

...how one ought to behave in the household of God,
which is the church of the living God,
a pillar and buttress of the truth. (ESV)

... how people must conduct themselves in the household of God.
This is the church of the living God,
which is the pillar and foundation of the truth. (NLT)

...so that you may know how it behooves one to conduct oneself
in the household of God, which is the church of the living God,
the pillar and base of the truth.(BLV)

...that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God,

the pillar and ground of the truth.(KJV)

...you will know how everyone who belongs to God's family ought to behave.
After all, the church of the living God is the strong foundation of truth.(CEV)

... how people ought to conduct themselves in the household of God, because it is the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth.(NETB)

... that thou may know how it is expedient to behave thyself in the house of God, which is
the congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones} of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.(JB2000)
. ... that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is [the] assembly of [the] living God, [the] pillar and base of the truth.(DBT)
... I now write, so that you may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth.(WNT)
... that you may know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.(WEB)

OK, so Who is the Truth? Jesus Christ.

WHAT is the pillar and foundation( or ground - buttress - base - strong foundation- support - foundation-stone) of the Truth? It is the church --- the ekklesia ("called-out ones"), us, the members of the church.
