Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
Our understanding of the Bible is largely determined by how much of it we choose to believe when it says something. Man's record through the mists of time, is not much. It does reveal much of what could not be known had it not been given to us. We look at what God and the Christ tell us about themselves, and see where we are at in terms of the record of scripture. Being deceived is as much not believing what God tells us, as it is being told an outright lie, and if God is the truth and cannot and does not lie, our not believing Him is problematic. Good and evil are defined in many ways in the Bible, and it is incumbent upon the ecclesia to search it out, for when we do, and believe what God tells us about the subject, we are feeding on the tree of life, and on the way to becoming at one with God and Christ. Christ always spoke from the viewpoint of God, and not a human viewpoint of God, and we need to work towards doing the same.

Ephesians 1:16-19 NLT
I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly,
asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called-His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance.
I also pray you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe Him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead....
