Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
Historically in the Churches of God, the perspective of things was from a doctrinal point of view and not that of discerning good from evil as God defines the terms. This led to the events of the 1990's where the ecclesia were asked to return to evil, disguised as new doctrine, by those in positions of being able to do so. Did they know it was evil or was it a case of being deceived and deceiving? We look at some biblical examples of human reasoning trumping divine guidance, moving to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from man's perspective rather than God's perspective, which is the tree of life. Christ always and without exception, viewed things from God's point of view and identified the world in which he came through those eyes. We conclude by looking at God's direction to the ecclesia, such that our thoughts and actions become like Christ's, at one with the Father.

James 1:16-18 NKJV
Do not be deceived, my brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
