THE CHURCH KEEPS THE TRUTH STRONG!!! (above)
annanicole 32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs "how he can please the Lord.
The married ministers of the "churches of Christ" is NOT concerned with God' affairs! Proving the LIE of the "churches of Christ" Jesus established ONE CHURCH not many!!! Paul tells the "churches of Christ" the married ministers are NOT concerned with God' affairs!
"I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH" One CHURCH (singular) NO PLACE can you find Jesus' words telling us, he has many bodies!
Ephesians 4:5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
1 Corinthians 10:17
No matter how many of us there are, we all eat from the same loaf, showing that we are all parts of the one body of Christ.
Matthew 16:18 ICB
So I tell you, you are Peter. And I will build my church on this rock. The power of death will not be able to defeat my church.
The CHURCH WILL NEVER FAIL!
Matthew 16:18 NTE
And I"ve got something to tell you, too: you are Peter, the rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell won"t overpower it.
you are Peter, the rock
Matthew 16:18 VOICE
This is why I have called you Peter (rock): for on this rock I will build My church. The church will reign triumphant even at the gates of hell.
The church will reign triumphant It will never ever fail!
Again, you will note that this was the question:
The passage(s) other than I Tim 3: 15-16 which teach, either directly or by implication, that the church is the pillar, foundation, or ground of the truth is/are _____________________________________________ .
So far, you haven't provided a single passage.

"Expert scripture interpreters"? Well, if I Tim 3: 15 means that the church itself is the "pillar and ground of the truth", then some other passages ought to teach the same concept. There aren't any.
The "pillar and ground" of the truth is embodied in Peter's statement, "Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God" - and the associated facts: the life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension. In other words, that IS Jesus Christ and all that He accomplished. That's why, despite your feeble efforts, "The pillar and ground of the truth, and without controversy great, is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. THAT is the bedrock, the support, the underpinning upon which the entire scheme of redemption stands.
All of the chapter 1 Timothy 3 is about running "THE CHURCH!" It is not about who God is!
Paul is telling us about the importance of being celibate!
32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord"s affairs"how he can please the Lord.
33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world"how he can please his wife" 34 and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord"s affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world"how she can please her husband.
Paul is saying in 1 Timothy 3 "the church" is what holds up and holds firm the truth in the world.
This is how the chapter starts.... Paul is telling us how GOD's CHURCH IS TO BE RUN!
1 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.
2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
Paul continues by telling us about "the church" is what holds up and holds firm the truth in the world.
15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God"s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God"s household
In other words.... "People should know how to conduct themselves IN GOD'S HOUSE"!
which is the church of the living God
In other words.... God' HOUSE is The CHURCH!
the pillar and foundation of the truth.
The context is: "The CHURCH.. God' ONE HOUSE is the Pillar and the foundation of truth!" "The church" is what holds up and holds firm the truth in the world.
annanicole ONE CHURCH, PAULS CHURCH IS GOD'S HOLY CHURCH with Celibate ministers! With unmarried men concerned about the Lord's affairs "how he can please the Lord".
You will not that this was the question:

There is no difference in the meaning of "foundation" and "pillar and ground", and the result is the same: the foundation is Jesus Christ: God manifest in the flesh, seen and preached, and received up into glory.
ONE CHURCH!!!!!!!
The CHURCH of the Living God!!!! Singular!!!! NOT.....
annanicole not "CHURCHES"!!!!!
I never said there was or is more than one church.
ABOVE SCRIPTURE... the church of the living God is the strong foundation of truth
WHO is the living God????? Jesus is!!!!
I doubt that that's a reference to Jesus Christ. Most likely it refers to God the Father.annanicole Your punctuation is NOT what EXPERT Scripture interpreters use! Scripture scholars tell you the CHURCH is the strong foundation of truth
1 Timothy 3:15
CEV so that if I am delayed, you will know how everyone who belongs to God"s family ought to behave. After all, the church of the living God is the strong foundation of truth.
Prove that my punctuation is wrong.
GOD'S HOLY WORD...After all, the church of the living God is the strong foundation of truth!PROVING YOU ARE WRONG!!!!
Huh? You didn't prove anything.
No, it isn't.YES IT IS.... You MUST REJECT Jesus to say Jesus did not say this! Scriptures are Jesus's words!! AGAIN.. After all, the church of the living God is the strong foundation of truth!
the church of the living God, which contains and holds high the truth of God.QUESTION What is the STRONG foundation???
TLB
so that if I don"t come for a while, you will know what kind of men you should choose as officers for the church of the living God, which contains and holds high the truth of God.
Give the scripture reference.
annanicole Lets see you TWIST THIS AROUND!!!!!! the church of the living God, which contains and holds high the truth of God.
And God's church is the support and foundation of the truth.ERV
so that, even if I cannot come soon, you will know how people should live in the family of God. That family is the church of the living God. And God"s church is the support and foundation of the truth.
annanicole And God's church is the support and foundation of the truth.
No, it isn't. The phrase "God's church" isn't even in the passage.
1 Timothy 3:15 ERV is a VERSE!
I don't have to twist it. That's not a verse.
1 Timothy 3:15 MSGQUESTION.... WHAT IS GOD' CHURCH"????!!!! (above verse)
MSG
I hope to visit you soon, but just in case I"m delayed, I"m writing this letter so you"ll know how things ought to go in God"s household, this God-alive church, bastion of truth. This Christian life is a great mystery, far exceeding our understanding, but some things are clear enough: He appeared in a human body, was proved right by the invisible Spirit, was seen by angels. He was proclaimed among all kinds of peoples, believed in all over the world, taken up into heavenly glory.
QUESTION.... What is the BASTION OF TRUTH!!!!??? (above)
What is the "God ALIVE CHURCH!?"
annanicole You prove once again... The man made "churches of Christ" twists the scriptures to tell their lies!
They "churches of Christ" are the children of the FATER OF LIES! Satan also TWISTS God' words to teach his lies!
Jesus established ONE CHURCH..... to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God,
Ummm ... I didn't twist anything. If I did, you certainly did a piss-poor job at demonstrating it.

Since you are fond of misapplying this scripture - and there was no punctuation in the original Greek - I'll repunctuate it for you:
"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 ground of the truth, and without great controversy, is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
THERE is your "pillar and ground of the truth" - the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ - God manifest in the flesh, and the idea that both Jews and Gentiles could equally be citizens of the kingdom. The "church" is NOT - and never was - "the pillar and ground of the truth."
There is no difference in the meaning of "foundation" and "pillar and ground", and the result is the same: the foundation is Jesus Christ: God manifest in the flesh, seen and preached, and received up into glory.

What kind of nincompoop would sit there and declare that a building is erected first, and then the cornerstone is laid later?
DICTIONARY DOT COM
cornerstone
a stone representing the nominal starting place in the construction of a monumental building, usually carved with the date and laid with appropriate ceremonies. something that is essential, indispensable, or basic: The cornerstone of democratic government is a free press.
"""""""""
FIRST THE FOUNDATION THEN THEY START THE CONSTRUSTION OF THE BUILDING.
But you said, "You need a building before you have a "Corner stone!". Can't you see up there that the cornerstone is the "nominal starting place in the construction of a monumental building." You flipped it and claimed that the building comes first, then the cornerstone is laid. That's absurd. Do you actually think before you type?
We'll do it this way: you said, "You need a building before you have a "Corner stone!". The dictionary says that the cornerstone is the starting point in the construction of the building. Which one of you has it right? It can't be both.
annanicole FACT.... First you establish the foundation then you start the construction of the building! NEVER EVER do you build a structure first then put it on a foundation!!!
I didn't ask about the foundation, did I? Nope, I asked which came first, the cornerstone or the building. You said the building came first, then they laid the cornerstone. The dictionary says that the cornerstone comes first, then the building. That's the polar opposite of what you said.
I asked which is correct, you or the dictionary? It can't be both.
You didn't answer.
FACT: Alexander Campbell taught; "God is STUPID" he taught Jesus' church failed! Joseph Smith also taught; Jesus failed, he taught GOD FAILED just as Alexander Campbell taught thus PROVING both are Satan's children!!
>>> Campbell was forced to reject God' holy words to teach; Jesus is stupid!<<<<
2) Construction includes a cornerstone!
annanicole Construction commences AFTER the foundation is laid!
The structure fails IF the Cornerstone fails!!!

annanicole QUESTION.... "Did the cornerstone fail"?!!!!
Did Jesus build on sand or on Rock?!!!
Is Jesus' foundations ROCK or Sand!?
annanicole >>DID THE CONRERSTONE FAIL???
You needn't worry about the cornerstone or much of anything else when you don't know any better than to say, "You need a building before you have a "Corner stone!" No building then NO CORNER STONE!" Isn't that absurd?
I have little doubt that, Catholic or not, when you stand before the judgment bar, you'll be ushered right on into heaven - on the grounds of general unaccountability. In other words ... just too dumb to send to hell.
annanicole I said.. "You need a foundation before you have any construction!"
I said... "A Cornerstone is the start of the CONSTRUCTION of the building"!
What you said was this, copied and pasted directly: "You need a building before you have a "Corner stone!" No building then NO CORNER STONE!"
Jesus founded his Church on the Apostle's! Founded: The BASE of Jesus' Church started with the Apostles!
The foundation of the church is Jesus Christ Himself.

annanicole QUESTION.... "Did Jesus fail"?!!!!
Who said anything about Jesus failing to establish His church? Not me! After all, He stated that the very gates to the Hadean world would not prevail against the church's establishment.
"Upon this rock", i. e. upon this fundamental and paramount truth that I am the promised Messiah and the Son of the Living God
"I will build", i. e. I will set up, I will firmly establish
"My church" - because it belongs to me, and I am the foundation and chief cornerstone of it.
"And the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it", i. e. My own death, at which time my spirit traverses the gates of the Hadean world, shall not prevent me from going right ahead and establishing my church.
OF COURSE I believe the Jesus established His church - and did so on the first Pentecost after His resurrection. You're the clown who has informed us of all sorts of times that Jesus established His church, and 'tis tough to find someone as thoroughly mixed up as you are. You've told us that it always existed. You've told us that He established it when He chose the twelve. You've told us He set it up before His death - then you told us He set it up after His death. The truth is that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Alexander Campbell said.. "Jesus failed"! He said "We have to Re-FORM the church Jesus built because it failed!"
Joseph Smith said.. "There is NO church left on earth" he said the same as Alexander Campbell said, "I must Re-FORM the Church"! "I Must RESTORE the Church!"
FACT... Historical documented FACT: Campbell was part of the Restoration Movement!

annanicole If Jesus did not fail then why are you saying the Church Jesus established is wrong.
The church isn't "anything" as far as right or wrong. The standard of things around here isn't what the higher-ups of this group or that group might claim. By that standard, I can prove anything. I'm saying that the Scriptures are right. Members of the church, individually or in groups, may err and fall away.
Certainly the Holy Spirit guides men. How? Through the Scriptures. We aren't dumb enough to claim some sort of miraculous, inexplicable, unintelligible, better-felt-than-explained, incomprehensible, and unprovable direct Holy Spirit guidance.
