Directly from the Greek.

1 Timothy 3:15 if moreover I should delay that you might know how it behoves one in the household of God to conduct oneself which is the ekklesia of God the living pillar and base of truth.

Who is the pillar and base of truth?

The Church. Not a book.

Here's the KJV with the definition of 'church' put in the verse:

1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the calling out, that is, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both): - assembly, church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

The 'church' is an assembly of believers...They are the pillar and ground of the truth??? Those guys out in the pews waiting on their wafer are the pillar and ground of the truth???

They inserted their Church for the real church and duped these people into believing it was a reference to the Roman religion...
