"My soul is deeply stirred at the things that have been represented before me. I feel an indignation of spirit that in our institutions so little honor has been given to the living God, and so much honor to that which is supposed to be superior talent, but with which the Holy Spirit has no connection. The Spirit of God is not acknowledged and respected; men have passed judgment upon it; its operations have been condemned as fanaticism, enthusiasm, undue excitement. CT 367.1"
"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."
The EGW passage describes a situation where the Holy Spirit is not honored and its operations are condemned. Acts 7:51 accuses the listeners of resisting the Holy Spirit. Both passages highlight the rejection or disregard of the Holy Spirit's work.
"Quench not the Spirit."
The EGW passage expresses concern that the Spirit of God is not acknowledged or respected, and its operations are condemned. 1 Thessalonians 5:19 directly commands believers not to quench the Spirit. The connection is that both passages address the importance of not suppressing or hindering the work of the Holy Spirit.
"God sees that which the blind eyes of the educators do not discern—that immorality of every kind and degree is striving for the mastery, working against the manifestations of the power of the Holy Spirit. The commonest of conversation, and low, perverted ideas are woven into the texture of character and defile the soul. CT 367.2"
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."
The EGW passage speaks of immorality defiling the soul, which directly echoes the concept in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 of believers being the temple of God and the consequences of defiling that temple. The principle of spiritual defilement is central to both.
"Neither give place to the devil."
Both passages address resisting evil influences. Ephesians 4:27 warns against giving the devil an opportunity, while the EGW passage describes how immorality gains mastery. The connection is thematic, focusing on resisting negative spiritual forces.
"The low, common pleasure parties, gatherings for eating and drinking, singing and playing on instruments of music, are inspired by a spirit that is from beneath. They are an oblation unto Satan. The exhibitions in the bicycle craze are an offense to God. His wrath is kindled against those who do such things. For in these gratifications the mind becomes besotted, even as in liquor drinking. The door is opened to vulgar associations. The thoughts, allowed to run in a low channel, soon pervert all the powers of the being. Like Israel of old, the pleasure lovers eat and drink, and rise up to play. There is mirth and carousing, hilarity and glee. In all this the youth are following the example of the ungodly authors of some of the books that are placed in their hands for study. All these things are having their effect upon the character. CT 367.3"
"And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play."
The EGW passage explicitly references the story of Israel in Exodus 32:6, drawing a direct parallel between their idolatrous feasting and modern 'pleasure parties.' The phrase 'eat and drink, and rise up to play' is a clear indication of direct allusion.
