What is the Pillar and Ground of the Truth? - 1 Timothy 3:15
In this video, we look deeply into the message of 1 Timothy 3:15 where Paul calls the church “the pillar and ground of the truth.” What does he really mean by this expression and how is it misunderstood?
To support their position that Catholic Church is infallible in teaching spiritual truths since it has an inerrant magisterium backed by an infallible Pope, a lot of Catholic apologists quote from this verse. According to them, this verse confirms the idea that the church is the ultimate authority on spiritual matters since it questions sola scriptura doctrine. But do these claims hold water considering what context we find ourselves with regard to this passage?
We’ll look at:
Authority of Bible: In his letters to Timothy, Paul focuses on his teachings as being above any possible interpretations from other leaders of churches hence emphasizing the Bible as our only infallible source for both faith and practice.
Truth Keepers: The steward is how Paul refers himself and others as apostles who are not themselves sources of truth but rather Jesus Christ is our true foundation.
Context and Interpretation Errors: Certain Catholic dogmas such as priestly celibacy are undermined by one’s ability to serve on church leadership positions as per Paul who says among other things including being married. Similarly, such encyclicals like those condemning marriage run counter to what Paul teaches against in his epistle.
Role of Church: The Greek terms used in 1 Timothy 3:15 show that instead of originating the gospel, it upholds it by serving as its mainstay (pillar) and foundation (ground).
