Knowledge doesn't necessarily lead to truth, but ignorance almost always leads to folly.
Knowledge CAN lead to truth, but I think it's part of a package deal: as well as knowledge, you need a healthy dose of wisdom to come to the best conclusions. I know several people who are very knowledgable, but don't have the common sense God gave a mushroom.

Depends on what else is in the mix, knowledge can lead to pride, Pride does lead to a fall;Proverbs 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Psalm 10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Psalm 10:4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

Yes. Knowledge leads to truth all the time. Sometimes the truth one finds is bitter. Sometimes, the truth one finds can be sweet. Knowledge is power and truth is the ultimate sword.

Yes, knowledge can lead you to the truth.

Yes. Definitely.
At John 8:32 Jesus said that you will KNOW the truth and the truth will set you free right?
The thing is the Apostle Paul also referred to those that would have a "zeal for God but not according to ACCURATE knowledge", those that would seek to establish their "own righteousness". (Romans 10: 2,3) So, it's important that when i comes to Bible truth, we go right to the source. The Bible itself. The ENTIRE Bible and not just a verse here and there that claims to support church doctrine.
Why is that important, because Jesus said, at John 17:3, "this means everlasting life their taking in KNOWLEDGE of me, the only true God and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
All the best in your search.

It is faith in that knowledge that leads to truth.

Knowledge is not necessarily true. Truth never changes.
