Sorry brothers i was asked this question from one of my Christian neighbor.
I couldn't answer that.
What could be the best answer for this type of question.

My sister, a piece of advice:

Don't allow anyone (particularly non-muslims) to quote a 'dodgy' translation (or even invent an incorrect translation), and then ask you to justify something that Allah SWT did not say in the first place. So always ask them where they got it from.

Here:[3:54] وَمَكَرُوا وَمَكَرَ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ

If you look in respectable and trustworthy Qur'an translations, the word مَكَرَ is always translated as 'Planned' or 'Plotted' but not 'Deceived'.

And then, find a Tafseer (such as Ibn Ktheer RhA) and read about this Verse to understand why it was revealed. You will find that Allah SWT Is Talking here about the jews of Banu Isra'il and how they were 'plotting' to kill Jesus AS, but Allah SWT is a Better 'Plotter' since He Replaced His prophet by another person and they ended up killing the other person, not Jesus AS.

And here: [8:30] وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ

You will find that it's about the non-believers of Quraish 'plotting' to ambush, attack and kill our prophet PBUH, however Allah SWT is a far Superior 'Plotter', since our prophet pbuh walked out unharmed, and all they could find was Ali RA in his bed.

Another great Mufassir (i.e. author of Tafseer), Al-Qurtubi RhA, quotes a Hadith in the translation of the first verse above, where our Propher PBUH, said: "O Allah, May You Plot for me, and not against me"

Beware incorrect Quran translations. Especially those written by orientalists (Mustashriqeen).
Wallahu a'lam.
