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.

Hebrews 12:3-5 NKJV
For consider Him, who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.
You have not yet resisted to bloodshed (torture or death), striving against sin.
And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as sons: My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD (Father), nor be discouraged when you are rebuked (corrected) by Him:
For whom the LORD (Father) loves He chastens (disciplines) and scourges every son He receives.
