"The “false writings” referred to in the text include also the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals, together with other forgeries. The Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals are certain fictitious letters ascribed to early popes from Clement (A.D. 100) to Gregory the Great (A.D. 600), incorporated in a ninth century collection purporting to have been made by “Isidore Mercator.” The name “Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals” has been in use since the advent of criticism in the fifteenth century. GC 682.3"
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
Similar to pair 4, the EGW passage discusses forged writings (Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals) used to support papal claims, which aligns with the Thessalonians verse about deception and a 'falling away.' The forged documents contributed to the apostasy.
"Pseudo-Isidore took as the basis of his forgeries a collection of valid canons called the Hispana Gallica Augustodunensis, thus lessening the danger of detection, since collections of canons were commonly made by adding new matter to old. Thus his forgeries were less apparent when incorporated with genuine material. The falsity of the Pseudo-Isidorian fabrications is now incontestably admitted, being proved by internal evidence, investigation of the sources, the methods used, and the fact that this material was unknown before 852. Historians agree that 850 or 851 is the most probable date for the completion of the collection, since the document is first cited in the Admonitio of the capitulary of Quiercy, in 857. GC 682.4"
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ."
The EGW passage describes Pseudo-Isidore's forgeries as deceitful and misleading, drawing a parallel to the false apostles described in 2 Corinthians 11:13. Both involve deception and misrepresentation of truth.
"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
The EGW passage describes Pseudo-Isidore's forgeries as a form of deception, which can be seen as a parallel to the "lying wonders" associated with the coming of the lawless one in 2 Thessalonians 2:9. Both involve the use of falsehood to mislead people.
