The simple answer is that the most effective lies are clothed in the elements of truth. And the greatest truth is the Word of God.
From the beginning the greatest liar has distorted the Word of God to ensnare man. Look at the approach satan took in Genesis 3:
“Now the serpent was more cunning that any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
So satan distorted what was most powerful (the Word of God) to achieve a selfish goal. That is what we do when we perpetrate any evil. We attempt to satisfy a selfish want.
Jesus said that satan is the father of all lies:
“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is not truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” John 8:44
So when we lie we recognize satan as our father, not God.
Now realize that it is not just evil people that are influenced by satan to lie. In Acts 5:5 Peter said that satan filled the heart of Ananias to lie to the Holy Spirit for financial gain (selfish reasoning).
Why do people use the Bible for evil? Because that have allowed themselves to be influenced by satan. And satan knows the greatest way to deceive is to distort God’s word.
