This all goes to what I believe is a foundational and fundamental error in the teachings of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee - that God somehow and in some sense NEEDS man.
Since God desires that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven then of course God needs man.

Good point.
John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
It is insulting to give someone work to do if you don't need the work to be done.
How often did Satan refer to Jesus as the Son of God and He replied He was the Son of Man. Doesn't that indicate God needed to be Man?
The idea that man is unnecessary and not needed is an insult.
