An [[A priori|intuitive presumption]] is an unexamined condition or basis for accepting or presuming something; an attitude or [[belief]] dictated by [[probability]]. [[Hypothesis]].

In [[Christianity]] presumption is a sin opposed to the Theological virtue of [[hope]]. This sin is committed by anyone who either trusts too much in their own strength or who, in order to attain salvation, expects God to do something that He would not will to do ([[Sloth (sin)|Sloth]] and [[Quietism]]). Persons who expect to attain salvation only by their own efforts ([[Pelagianism]]) or who think they will attain salvation on account of the merits of Christ alone without applying His merits or seeking them and exercising them for the benefit of both themselves and others, sin by presumption. James 2:14-26; Luke 12:41-48; 19:12-26; Matthew 25.
