   It's sinful to think one can know God's will/plan in full.   
      
   Holy Scripture says clearly any authority is established by   
   God, whereas a Christian's duty is to submit to authorities   
   rather than "fight" against what he or she may dislike.   
      
   | Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is   
   | rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who   
   | do so will bring judgment on themselves. (Romans 13)
