The Kosmos

Normally, “Kosmos” is a word often used in the Bible to denote the World System — a rather unfriendly place. But our friend Mr. McLaren seems to think it’s heaven on earth! If  you were at Woodstock, it makes sense…

NOTE: McLaren’s claim that Martin Luther King’s success was due to President Lyndon Johnson is historically dubious, at best. The Civil Rights movement pre-dated President Johnson, even though Johnson did promote it. What McLaren fails to acknowledge is that King’s movement was the initiator, while politicians like Johnson climbed aboard as it became politically-expedient, or safe. King himself attributed his guidance and success to Jesus Christ, not Johnson, but McLaren never gives credit to Jesus Christ.
