"By the cry, Liberality, men are blinded to the devices of their adversary, while he is all the time working steadily for the accomplishment of his object. As he succeeds in supplanting the Bible by human speculations, the law of God is set aside, and the churches are under the bondage of sin while they claim to be free. GC 522.1"
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
Both passages address Satan's deceptive nature. 2 Corinthians 11:14 states that Satan transforms himself into an angel of light, while EGW describes how Satan uses 'liberality' to blind people and supplant the Bible. Both highlight Satan's use of deception to achieve his goals.
"To many, scientific research has become a curse. God has permitted a flood of light to be poured upon the world in discoveries in science and art; but even the greatest minds, if not guided by the word of God in their research, become bewildered in their attempts to investigate the relations of science and revelation. GC 522.2"
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."
Both passages discuss the foolishness of worldly wisdom when not guided by God. EGW expands on the idea of scientific research becoming a curse when separated from divine guidance, echoing the sentiment in 1 Corinthians 3:19.
"Human knowledge of both material and spiritual things is partial and imperfect; therefore many are unable to harmonize their views of science with Scripture statements. Many accept mere theories and speculations as scientific facts, and they think that God's word is to be tested by the teachings of “science falsely so called.” 1 Timothy 6:20 . The Creator and His works are beyond their comprehension; and because they cannot explain these by natural laws, Bible history is regarded as unreliable. Those who doubt the reliability of the records of the Old and New Testaments too often go a step further and doubt the existence of God and attribute infinite power to nature. Having let go their anchor, they are left to beat about upon the rocks of infidelity. GC 522.3"
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:"
Ellen White directly references 1 Timothy 6:20 in this passage.
"Thus many err from the faith and are seduced by the devil. Men have endeavored to be wiser than their Creator; human philosophy has attempted to search out and explain mysteries which will never be revealed through the eternal ages. If men would but search and understand what God had made known of Himself and His purposes, they would obtain such a view of the glory, majesty, and power of Jehovah that they would realize their own littleness and would be content with that which has been revealed for themselves and their children. GC 522.4"
"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,"
Both passages address the idea of people becoming fools by professing to be wise. EGW connects this to men trying to be wiser than their Creator, which directly reflects the sentiment in Romans 1:22.
"O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:"
Both passages warn against being led astray by false knowledge or 'science falsely so called.' EGW elaborates on this by connecting it to human philosophy attempting to understand mysteries beyond human comprehension, which aligns with the warning in 1 Timothy 6:20.
