Maybe I misinterpreted the reason for the question (granted it’s tough to keep track of 500+ post threads), but I got the impression that the reason why you and other protestants were asked what church you belonged to was because the Bible says that the Church is the pillar of truth (versus the Bible).
Not to worry - it's a long-running argument that's been dragged across threads for months. And I may have missed it, but I don't recall that explanation ever being offered for the question before.
Nope: the Living GOD is.
No it doesn't...It says that God is the pillar and ground of the truth...And that truth is revealed 'to the church' by the written word of God...
The Old Testament is full of truth...The OT was around long before the church showed up...So obviously the church can not be the ground of the truth...It was already there...
Joh_14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus/God/Holy Spirit is the pillar and ground of the truth...Jesus himself says so...And more specifically, it is the words of God by which that truth is revealed to us...
Psa_119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
Psa_138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
As usual, your religion has taken a single verse, not proved it, and perverted it out of context and built a false dogma on top of it...
The bible will straighten out your false teachings every time...
