THE DANGER OF PRESUMPTION AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
A major problem in the life of many believers is presumption. They assume they already know God, already understand His ways, already understand scripture.
A presumption works like this: you are directed to look in a direction, but you look wrongly, and still conclude you have seen correctly. Then you begin to teach others based on what you assumed, not what is true.
That is how many false ideas about God spread. People assume what God is like, what He approves, what He desires, and what He rejects, without checking scripture.
For example, someone hears a statement and builds a doctrine from a wrong interpretation. Then they begin to say, “This is what God says,” when God never said it.
Presumptions block true knowledge of God. They oppose revelation. They make a person feel they already know, so they stop searching.
And once that happens, even scripture becomes filtered through assumption instead of understanding.
A wise person does not assume. A wise person goes back to scripture, asking what God actually says, not what has been assumed over time.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth.
This is where many of us miss it and until we get back to study what is written about and by Jesus Who is the express image of The True God, we will always continue to assume and continue to build on the knowledge of others about The Truth
