Presumption??? It's called 'assurance of salvation' which is described thru out the scriptures given to the adopted church...
Worship God instead of creating rationalizations to assuage ones conscience with handpicked bible verses which can be refuted with other verses.
And the verses you pick can be refuted with the verses that I pick...Know what that proves??? It proves that you don't have a clue about dividing the word of Truth...
It's not often a Catholic will acknowledge that there are scriptures that don't line up with each other...It's not often that a Catholic knows enough scripture to realize that sometimes scripture doesn't line up all the time...At least there's some hope for you...Not much, but some...
Since the reformation those faced with this apparent biblical incongruity resort to PRIVATE Interpretation to provide, not the answer provided by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit , but one to comfort their consciences. Worship of self instead of Jesus.
Christians are to follow the Word of Jesus not as you stated “Divide the Word of Truth which heretics have perfected for over 500 years.
Worship Jesus not self.
