Do you have a difficult time following the discussions? We were talking about the Church being the pillar and bulwark of truth, and that truth being the word of God, whether it is written or not.
Was all His word written down at the time?
As if that had any bearing on the discussion..you want to imply a continuing revelation through the pope.. that is no where found .. But what we do know is when the Holy Spirit SPOKE He knew what the NT canon would be because He was its author and so it could be said that the work of the church is to be the pillar that upholds the truth.. and scripture tells us that Christ's word is truth
" the pillar and ground of the truth--evidently predicated of the Church, not of "the mystery of godliness" (an interpretation not started till the sixteenth century; so BENGEL); for after two weighty predicates, "pillar and ground," and these substantives, the third, a much weaker one, and that an adjective, "confessedly," or "without controversy great," would not come. "Pillar" is so used metaphorically of the three apostles on whom principally the Jewish Christian Church depended ( Gal 2:9 ; compare Rev 3:12 ). The Church is "the pillar of the truth," as the continued existence (historically) of the truth rests on it; for it supports and preserves the word of truth. He who is of the truth belongs by the very fact to the Church. Christ is the alone ground of the truth in the highest sense ( 1Cr 3:11 ). The apostles are foundations in a secondary sense ( Eph 2:20 Rev 21:14 ). The Church rests on the truth as it is in Christ; not the truth on the Church. But the truth as it is in itself is to be distinguished from the truth as it is acknowledged in the world. In the former sense it needs no pillar, but supports itself; in the latter sense, it needs the Church as its pillar, that is, its supporter and preserver [BAUMGARTEN].
