It is arrogance to believe one knows the mind of God.
It is a massive step beyond arrogance to believe one's self to be unique in that knowledge.

The mind of God is unfathomable to the human consciousness. At best we know about God.

I am reminded of the story of the blind men feeling the elephant and each discribing it. "as a wall from the side", "as a rope from the tail", "as a spike from the tusk", "as a snake from the trunk."

To believe one has more comprehension of God than a blind man does of an elephant is presumptuous to say the least. So while you may describe God as a wall since you are feeling the side, be cautious of calling the man feeling the trunk foolish for describing a snake.
