2 Thess. 2:14 does not support your definition of the church...

2 Thessalonians is about the truth being proclaimed by tradition, which is both by word of mouth and by the scripture. In other words, Truth -> Scripture. The relationship between Chruch and Truth is in 1 Timothy 3:15, as well as in several chapters from John.

You offered 2 Thessalonians 2:14 as proof of the validity of "the truth being proclaimed by tradition."

This is 2 Thess. 2:14...

""Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Nowhere in that verse is any mention made of tradition; only Scripture, only the word of God.

Perhaps you see things that aren't there.
