Do you believe that Paul was lying when he told us that the Church is the pillar and foundation of Truth? Or is that redacted from your Bible too?

Indeed that is a strong biblical truth ... but like all truths we need to hold it up to the light for understanding ...

1st..what is the JOB of pillars and foundations?? why they hold something up... so what is the church to uphold?? THE SCRIPTURES ..the work of the church is to hold the truth of the scriptures up so people can come to faith in Christ and be saved.. (Romans 10:17)

2nd Catholics ASSUME that THEY are the church which is spoken of ...a falsehood of huge proportions.. proven by the very fact they have a low view of scripture and do not preach the gospel so that men can be saved..

Ah, so we have another Bible literalist that is really not actually literal. The Bible really means whatever it is that I happen to say this afternoon about tea time.

If you put that to a tune, I'll bet that Britney Spears could lip synch it. The work of the Church is to go forth and make believers of all men, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

To the contrary, we have a very reverent view of Scripture. It is the heretics and the apostates that we have a low view of.
