Making an issue of my alleged attitude is just a diversionary tactic to get the focus off of the truth of the NT proposition that Jesus is putative
savior and hence
messiah of the
cosmos i.e. the universe. Even
Witness Lee taught the world was the
cosmos. "The world, the cosmos, is composed of many ages."
(Life-Study of 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon, Chapter 20, Section 1) and that through the cross Jesus saved
the cosmos. “In His flesh” Christ terminated all the negative things in
the universe (Satan, the devil, the enemy of God—Heb. 2:14; sin—Rom. 8:3; John 1:29 "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of
the cosmos!" ; the flesh of fallen man—Gal. 5:24;
the world, the cosmos, the evil system of Satan—John 12:31; the old creation represented by the old man—Rom. 6:6; and the separating ordinances of the law—Eph. 2:15).
(Crystallization-Study Outlines—Ephesians, Chapter 1, Section 3)
