"Oppose that belief that you can do everything and you know everything," would be my first idea but if there were more context it may turn out that the word combate is describing a third person singular doing the action instead of a tú command.

Looks to me like an exam question - begins with a command which may or may not be an imperative depending on its audience and goes on to a colon and a question. Typically woolly academic. - geofc, Nov 28, 2012
It is imperative. Look how after the sentence reads "todo lo puedes (tú) y todo lo sabes (tú)." Now I have a question: Why didn't you use "fight" instead of "oppose"? I just want to know if that's because "oppose" shows better the content in the message - -cae-, Nov 28, 2012

Perhaps a bit more idiomatically,

Challenge your belief in everything you can do and know ?

I´m really curious now, and look forward to the responses.

No. "de que" clearly makes lapiedra's version correct. - geofc, Nov 28, 2012
Could you please explain that more? That´s what I struggled most with. The de que. Thanks! - rogspax, Nov 28, 2012
