God cannot act against His nature. He cannot cease to exist because His nature is existence itself. So too, since His nature is truth itself, He cannot deceive. Setting up a theology which is necessary for salvation and then hiding that truth would be deception, which is impossible for God.

In addition, any thing that is created, but is not rightly ordered (i.e., lacking), is considered "evil". For someone to contend that Jesus created the Church from the very beginning without completeness (fullness) of Truth, is to assert that Christ created something evil, which is categorically impossible.

I never said that God deceived. God's truth is in His Word, the Scriptures. The only deceiving that went on was by those who had the Word, but hid it from the people.
