“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does them, shall be like a wise man who built his house on the rock, (Mat 7:24 The Scriptures 1998+)
Stable Data are data that have been built up from the ground up through Clearing. Consciously. Personally. And Firsthand. Again, Stable Data are data that have been cleared up Consciously. Personally. And Firsthand.
The reason why Bible Believing people, do not agree on one thing is because not every one is making a conscious effort of clearing data.
Except for a very few.
When there is an argument of Biblical Doctrines, we can be sure, that either one or both holds onto a belief which was unwittingly stemmed from a presupposition. Meaning unstable data -- data not cleared personally. But rather believed -- accepted to be truth, even without testing.
Most was groomed to believed/believing what was heard, by face value through teachers, parents, mates, and the like.

Presupposition
“And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not do them,1 shall be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, Footnote: 1John 3:36. (Mat 7:26 The Scriptures 1998+)
Now, let us put our attention to present time. Everything that WE Are, And Have Known in the present time have been borne out of an agreement of some sort previously. In other words -- borne out of a pre-supposition of things around us. This is what we called a reality.
We have to established a pre-supposition of some sort in order to be able to move on in education, in learning.
For example: The color white, do we absolutely know that the True color we call white is indeed absolutely white?
No! Absolutely Not(!), (Yet)! We do not know for certain. For all we know, it could actually be black or some other color. But some kind of teacher had taught us what white is like. And by repetition, we have, in time come to agree. In other words, in understanding with the teacher. And the teachers' teachers before them and so on and on.
Teacher Rule / Prophet Rule
“But beware of the false prophets,1 who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are savage wolves. Footnote: 1: Mat 7:23 (Mat 7:15 The Scriptures 1998+)
(Because) We have to agree (or come to understanding) on calling some color a white, another a black, a blue, and so on. Our Agreement (or understanding) make it a reality. When two individuals or more agrees on something, it is called Understanding. Please take note of this.
And our Enemy, the devil, with his able human agents, which we will call the powers-that-be has taken advantage of this, and have utilized this, time and again, burying layers of deceitful belief systems.
We are taught to follow our authorities; and teachers are our first authorities, which if go back to the "Old Paths" were called Prophets. And so by tacit deduction, (subliminally), the powers-that-be uses the term "Prophets" subtily to forward a "presupposition".
Otherwise, if that is not the case, then there must be an Absolute Truth of things. Which in Truth, there is. What Is Truth?
Truth Is Absolute
And if there is, it must be searched out, dug, discovered, Cleared and Restored. Personally. Firsthand. This is how Stable Data is built or Absolute Truths considered.
And then taught. And when it is taught, it then, again, becomes a supposition to another, the audience or students, until the audience or students Clear them up. Personally. Firsthand.
It is to the interest of our enemy to ignore this process, by setting up a belief system one tacitly by default fall onto.
In other words: One makes a consideration, a conclusion, a decision, a judgment which will then make and build upon one's beliefs system without Clearing, Personally, Firsthand. Which was based on a pre-supposition, unwittingly.
An Absolute Truth is Stable Data when one has escaped its pre-supposition and into the Truth of the matter.
If one did not arrived at the Absolute Truth, Absolutely, then one only holds A Belief of Things, which unwittingly could be unTruth of Things. This is this essay's definition of a "dogma".
Now, Absolute Truth is Stable Data, and if these data have found us. These do not Automatically become Stable Data at all. We have other words such as Believe, Facts, Real, Reality, Actual, and the like. These can be twisted by any body arbitrarily, en route, without anybody knowing it or being aware of it.
Therefore, what ever data we received, believed to be Truth or True, could in reality, or in actuality be, only, a supposition from a pre-supposition. Even if the data was a Stable Data of another.
In other words, a supposition of something built from a pre-supposition of some things.
And further, my Stable Data, or Stable Data of Another, comes to you as Facts. Subject for Clearing. Personally. Firsthand. Until then, it cannot be Stable Data to you or any one else.
To Build Stable Data
Now, In order to Build Stable Data, One Must be aware of the above, and these:
And if what one believes to be True has been contradicted by another data, that can only mean that the existing beliefs has been shaken.
And the right course of action must be, to consciously put the existing data in check and balance with the new data, personally, firsthand. If possible.
When this is done, one of the data, should come out either Trustworthy Data or Stable Data.
Remember This key phrase in Building Stable Data: One must Clear the Confusion, personally, firsthand. It is a conscious informed choice of action. A conscious informed act.
Debate Arguments and Dogma
The opposite of Stable Data is Dogma.
dog·ma /ˈdôɡmə/ noun noun: dogma, plural noun: dogmas
1. a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true
"the Christian dogma of the Trinity"Yahoo! Powered by Oxford Dictionaries
Debate Arguments are actually subtle clues that we might be holding dogmas - data we might have considered already and have restored and believed, but could in reality be based on a pre-supposition that has yet to be uncovered.
And there are many of these.
Here is one:
“I and My Father are one.”1
Footnote: 1: John 17:11, 17:21-23.
(Joh 10:30 The Scriptures 1998+)Again the Yehuḏim picked up stones to stone Him.
(Joh 10:31 The Scriptures 1998+)Because of this, then, the Yehuḏim were seeking all the more to kill Him, ‘because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He also called Elohim His own Father, making Himself equal with Elohim.’
(Joh 5:18 The Scriptures 1998+)
The Context of the text is based on the statement of the Mashiach that him and the Father is one, and Him saying that He is the Son of Elohim.
And from the phrase: "making Himself equal with Elohim" we made an assumption that the Yahudim believed that He was making Himself equal with Elohim, and because They were Yahudim, and the phrase we can read in the account of the Mashiach, in the Bibles, we also made an additional assumption that they (the Yahudim) must be right in their claim, and the phrase because it can be read, it is also assumed it must be truth, and so the Majority of Christendom also believed in this and in them (the Yahudim), unwittingly. This is a dogma.
Noticed that The Presupposition is cleverly concealed.
Again, allow me to try exposing it, in these few questions:
Whose statement is this: "making Himself equal with Elohim"?
The Apostle John.
Did John state that the Mashiach is equal with Elohim?
No! He did not. He was just recording the reaction of the Yahudim.
If No, then who is stating that the Mashiach is equal with Elohim?
The Yahudim by implication of their reaction.
Should we then consider this belief of the Yahudim that the Mashiach is equal with Elohim?
No! But the reader is being led to do so, unwittingly, by any teachers who believed that the Mashiach is equal with Elohim. And In fact, they might even drive the point that it is actually saying thus.
That is just a sample. The subject in the sample is broader than just a few lines. The purpose is only to reveal the subtle hidden presuppositions of a certain doctrine.
Conclusion
A belief which is contradicted could be sitting on a presupposition until it is cleared, personally, firsthand.
And a dogmatic person will refute dogmatically, because the same will ignore what is really written. And that is the danger.
The danger is Not Seeing what is actually written. Because of the presuppositions of a teacher teaching. Which our Enemy usually presents to us as an authority.
