Jesus says......

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

*I* never said the church is truth. That's not found anywhere in Scripture, while Jesus Himself clearly says in Scripture that both He and the word are truth.

It's not a matter of getting together and deciding what truth is.

It's a matter of going back to Scripture, the word of God, and finding out what it says truth is.

I'm not going to agree with claiming the church is truth because it's not found in Scripture.

So, Jesus is the truth, and Jesus is the foundation of the church, do we then read the verse in question to say that the church is the foundation of truth? How does that blueprint work out? Wouldn’t that make the church the foundation of Jesus, and Jesus the foundation of the church? Seems awfully circular to me.
