The church is called the pillar of truth.
It is odd indeed to read a New Testament that chronicles the early days of the establishment of a teaching church to disavow any role for such a church.
Answer me this. Where is the letter from the Corinthians to St. Paul?
Which church?
Of the seven listed in the book of Revelation, which one is the pillar of truth? Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, or Laodicea?
Ooops. I guess Jesus forgot about Rome, eh?
