Nature of truth!

The doctrines of Jesus Christ are infused with the virtues of Jesus Christ and empowered the gifts of the Spirit!

The doctrines of demons are infused with the vices of demons especially pride, spiritual pride, presumption, and arrogance!

Seven Gifts of the spirit:

Wisdom, Counsel, Spiritual knowledge, Piety, Fear of the Lord:
Understanding, Fortitude:

Virtues of Jesus Christ:

Faith, hope, and charity: 1 cor 13:13

Humility

Humility is truth! Any exaggeration either way, to belittle or to self-aggrandize is a violation of the virtue of humility.

Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Lk 1:48 lowliness of His handmaid

Prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance:

Moderation, obedience, courage,
Generosity, meekness, honesty, modesty, patience:


Truth is from God!
Truth is immutable!

ir-reformable!

Both are from God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

Lk 1:32-33 His kingdom shall have no end!

Matt 16:18-19 shall not prevail!

Jn 21:23 same mission, power, and authority as Christ!

The church is built only by Christ on His apostles! Matt 16:18 eph 2:20

What authority did the so called reformers have?

Christ and His church are one!
How can you reject the church established by Christ or the revelation of Christ as taught by His one true church and not reject Christ? Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4 Jn 15:5 eph 5:24 eph 5:32

2 Timothy 2:12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

It is unlawful to refuse to accept a truth revealed by God!

Matt 28:19 eph 4:5 Jude 1:3

We have no authority to decide faith, doctrine or truth for ourselves by any means including scripture study!

Truth must be revealed by God thru Christ to His church (the apostles Jude 1:3) then must be proposed by the church, (Matt 28:19 gal 3:23) without error by the Holy Spirit! (Jn 16:13)

Christ and His church are one! (Acts 9:4 eph 5:32 Jn 15:1-5)

The evidence of true faith is humble subjection and obedience to Christ & His holy church! Jn 15:1-5 Rom 16:26

The rule of faith for Christians is Jesus Christ Jn 14:6 and His church! Matt 18:17 acts 2:42 1 Tim 3:15

True Christians cannot listen to the errors of excommunicated heretics, but we listen faithfully to Christ, in the bosom of holy mother church, the only ark of salvation!

This Apostolic Church never turned from the way of truth nor held any kind of error. It is imperative that nothing of the truths which have been defined be lessened, nothing altered, nothing added, but that they be preserved intact in word and meaning. This is the true rule of faith. Pope Agatho

God does not reveal His truth in a vacuum!

God does not set His true adrift on a sea of spiritual anarchy!

God sets His truth in His church, in the possession of His apostles to safeguard, to ensure it is not added to, or taken away from, or changed in any way!

And to teach the same truth to all nations and all ages!

Verified by scripture:

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!

Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints!

2 Thessalonians 2:15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness!
(all scripture not 66 books alone)

Must be instructed in the faith:

Lk 1:4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Matt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…

Jn 29:21-23 as the father sent me, so I send you. (Same mission, power, and authority to teach all nations)

Lk 10:16 He who hears you, (His apostles) hear me.

Jn 13:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Jn 8:32 You (the apostles) shall know the truth; and the truth shall make you free.

Jn 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
(His apostles)

Believe him.
 
Truth is a person.

Believe him.
The truth is not something it’s somebody, Jesus Christ! Jn 14:6

God is truth!
Truth is immutable!

Jesus Christ is Our salvation:

Truth / doctrine Jn 14:6
Sacrifice / sacraments Jn 1:16-17 Jn 1:29
Christ is in His person is our salvation Lk 2:30

How can it be “faith alone” Christ is not only a doctrine or set of beliefs but He is our Passover sacrifice and He is our salvation, His person, Lk 2:30 I have seen my Salvation!
We must have union with Christ by faith and baptism.

Matt 16
He does not ask what do men say about what I “teach”, but “who do men say that I am”?

Thanks

I expect you mean, the whole mission of the church? After all, are we not to be pursuing Christ and his righteousness? And what is God's purpose for the church —not, after all, Rev 21?

Wow! So you DO believe God himself causes all things whatsoever shall come to pass! Nice!

True indeed. And that, THE Church —the Redeemed Elect. The Body of Christ. I see no mention there of reprobate priests and church officials within some man-made hierarchy of RCC, nor of lost members.

You could've made this a lot simpler for yourself, instead of making a clickbait title to draw people like myself in, for a thesis on RCC authority, by using the same title for the good things you do say about the truth, in a discussion on truth itself.

But now you've got to defend your notion of just what is "the pillar and ground of the truth". Ha! I'm almost afraid to post this, thinking you might adopt 'Pillar and Ground of Truth' as if that necessarily means the RCC!
