Premise 3: The Holy Scriptures teach the truth.

Your argument falls down right here.

What does Scripture say is the pillar and foundation of truth? It is not Scripture:

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

The Church teaches the Truth.

I don’t disagree with what you said, but I think you have mis-interpreted the reasoning behind the arguments I’ve posted. I’m a Catholic (of the Latin Rite). In communion with the Bishop of Rome.

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15

Which noun is the antecedent of "the pillar and foundation of the truth"?

Which noun is closest to "the pillar and foundation of truth"?

Where does this or any Scripture in the Holy Bible say the Roman Catholic church is the Church of the living God?

>>The Church teaches the Truth.<<

Unfortunately for Catholics it's NOT the Catholic Church. Paul said anyone who taught something they didn't should be considered accursed. The Catholic Church teaches many things the apostles didn't teach.
