This discussion is about the focal point of the SDA Church and not about what is truth and what isn't truth, therefore, let us not divert into talking neither about the 27 fundamental beliefs of the SDA Church, nor about EGW as a true prophet of God. There are other topics reserved in other forums of MSDAOL for things like that.

Bob, thank you for being honest and open about your thoughts on Adventism and Sister White. It clears up some of the questions I had regarding your views.

Daryl, it should be obvious by now, in light of all the SOP quotes, that the "focal point" of the SDA church is the same as Jesus' focus, that is, lost souls.

And what of Jesus' focus on His Father?

Jesus' final, parting words were:
Matthew
28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
Acts
1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
In another place Jesus said:
Matthew
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

BTW, Dave, I forgot to point out that all the scripture quotes you posted, where Jesus was focusing on His Father, were things He said to, or in the hearing of, the lost souls He was seeking and saving. Which is exactly what SDA church is supposed to do too. Our focal point is lost souls, whom we must point to Jesus as their only source of salvation.

That was exactly my piont. In seeking to save the lost, we are focusing on Christ!

Leading lost souls to Jesus is focusing on Jesus.
By George, I think we are in agreement, Mr. Hoover.
