"Satan's enmity against God's law had impelled him to war against every precept of the Decalogue. To the great principle of love and loyalty to God, the Father of all, the principle of filial love and obedience is closely related. Contempt for parental authority will soon lead to contempt for the authority of God. Hence Satan's efforts to lessen the obligation of the fifth commandment. Among heathen peoples the principle enjoined in this precept was little heeded. In many nations parents were abandoned or put to death as soon as age had rendered them incapable of providing for themselves. In the family the mother was treated with little respect, and upon the death of her husband she was required to submit to the authority of her eldest son. Filial obedience was enjoined by Moses; but as the Israelites departed from the Lord, the fifth commandment, with others, came to be disregarded. PP 337.1"
"Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."
EGW directly discusses the importance of the fifth commandment and its degradation, which is the core principle of Exodus 20:12.
"Satan was “a murderer from the beginning” ( John 8:44 ); and as soon as he had obtained power over the human race, he not only prompted them to hate and slay one another, but, the more boldly to defy the authority of God, he made the violation of the sixth commandment a part of their religion. PP 337.2"
"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."
EGW directly quotes John 8:44 and uses it as a basis for her argument about Satan's influence.
"Thou shalt not kill."
EGW connects Satan's influence to the violation of the sixth commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill,' which is the core principle of Exodus 20:13.
"By perverted conceptions of divine attributes, heathen nations were led to believe human sacrifices necessary to secure the favor of their deities; and the most horrible cruelties have been perpetrated under the various forms of idolatry. Among these was the practice of causing their children to pass through the fire before their idols. When one of them came through this ordeal unharmed, the people believed that their offerings were accepted; the one thus delivered was regarded as specially favored by the gods, was loaded with benefits, and ever afterward held in high esteem; and however aggravated his crimes, he was never punished. But should one be burned in passing through the fire, his fate was sealed; it was believed that the anger of the gods could be appeased only by taking the life of the victim, and he was accordingly offered as a sacrifice. In times of great apostasy these abominations prevailed, to some extent, among the Israelites. PP 337.3"
"Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods."
Both passages discuss the abhorrent practice of sacrificing children by fire to idols. EGW provides more detail on the practice, but the core theme aligns with Deuteronomy 12:31.
"The violation of the seventh commandment also was early practiced in the name of religion. The most licentious and abominable rites were made a part of the heathen worship. The gods themselves were represented as impure, and their worshipers gave the rein to the baser passions. Unnatural vices prevailed and the religious festivals were characterized by universal and open impurity. PP 337.4"
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:"
Both passages discuss the degradation of morals and sexual practices within a religious context, specifically mentioning unnatural acts. The EGW passage provides a broader description of heathen practices, while Romans 1:26 focuses on a specific example. The connection is strong enough to confirm.
