The pillar and ground of the truth is the Church.
“The pillar and ground of the truth is the Church.”
And the truth that the pillar supports is the Word of God, both in the flesh and in writing.
From the Gospel of “Saint” John:
Chapter 1
1In the beginning was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
...
14 THE WORD BECAME FLESH and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

“In the beginning was the WORD”
CHRIST is “The Word made Flesh.”
CHRIST is the chief cornerstone. He is the rock of our salvation. HE is the “pillar” on which we stand or fall.
Why do we rob Him of His glory and exalt a manmade institution in his place? An insitution that moves Christ, far below even secondary status, yet still claims his name?
Can the Church sanction an activity or teaching that is contrary to the teachings of the Prophets, Apostles and the Lord?
