"God Misrepresented Satan has ascribed to God all the evils to which flesh is heir. He has represented Him as a God who delights in the sufferings of His creatures, who is revengeful and implacable. It was Satan who originated the doctrine of eternal torment as a punishment for sin, because in this way he could lead men into infidelity and rebellion, distract souls, and dethrone human reason.

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Both passages attribute misrepresentation and lies to Satan. John 8:44 identifies Satan as a liar and the father of lies, while EGW describes Satan as misrepresenting God's character. The thematic connection is strong and central to both texts.
"this way he has deceived and seduced the race, beguiling them with subtle temptations, bewildering them with specious deceptions. CT 27.1"
"And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
EGW's passage directly alludes to the serpent's deception of Eve in Genesis 3:13, using similar language like 'beguiled' and referencing the act of deception.
"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
This is a clear allusion. Both passages discuss the serpent's deception and the potential corruption of minds through subtlety. The language and the core concept are closely linked.
