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.

1John 3:1-3 NKJV
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God! Therefore, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be but when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
And everyone who has this hope in Him (the Father) purifies himself, just as He (the Father) is pure.
