The word Scheming (planning) has been used in positive sense. The guy (Shlomo ben Avraham Pinheiro ) took the words out of context. This is the way Alqaedans mislead. May be this guy is a Jewish or Christian alqaedan. If we read Quran 3:54 with immediate verses above and below the meaning will be entirely different.

[3.50] Likewise confirming the Torah that has been before
me and to make lawful to you some of the things you have
been forbidden. I bring you a sign from your Lord,
therefore, fear Allah and obey me.
[3.51] Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore, worship
Him. This is the Straight Path". '
[3.52] When (Prophet) Jesus felt their disbelief, he
said: 'Who will be my helpers in the way of Allah?
disciples replied: 'We are the helpers of Allah. We
believe in Allah. Bear witness that we are submitters
(Muslims).
[3.53] Lord, we have believed in what You sent down and
followed the Messenger. Write us among Your witnesses. '
[3.54] They devised, and Allah devised. And Allah is the
Best Devisor.
[3.55] Allah said: ' (Prophet) Jesus, I will take you to
Me and will raise you to Me, and I will purify you from
those who disbelieve. I will make your followers (who
died before Prophet Muhammad) above those who disbelieve
till the Day of Resurrection. Then, to Me you shall all
return, and I shall judge between you as to that you were
at variance.
