So the Truth didn't exist until your 'Church' showed up to create it??? How ridiculous...Paul is teaching people how to act in the church...
WHO TAUGHT PAUL HOW TO ACT IN THE CHURCH BUT THE REAL PILLAR AND GROUND OF THE TRUTH??? Your church??? Of course not...
Paul didn't learn anything from any Church...He learned it from the only pillar and ground of truth there is or ever was...
Paul condems your religion and its version of the pillar and foundation of the truth...
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Gal 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Gal 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Paul is teaching Christians how to act in the church from instructions given him by the pillar and ground of truth, God; as the scripture you posted clearly states...
Not my Church, the Church Christ established.
Just read the Scripture in context.
Christ established a Church: “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18
And yes, the Church Christ established is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15
Try to take the words of Scripture literally, instead of following your man-made beliefs.
Show where Scripture says it is the pillar and foundation of Truth. Show where Scripture defines the table of contents of Scripture.
“Paul didn’t learn anything from any Church...”
This is what is so comical about Bible-bangers. They will toss out anything they find inconvenient.
Where did Paul go to learn the Faith after his conversion? The NT had not been written!
He went to the apostles, to be INSTRUCTED.
And you people claim to take Scripture seriously. You’ve just thrown out the whole book of Acts.
BTW: In the book of Acts, where are the Gospels? Where are the epistles? Yet, there is a CHURCH!
Except that that's not what the Scripture states, and calling God the "pillar and ground of truth" is demoting God. God is truth personified.
