The 3rd Temple

[Caleb]

So again can I ask, when did the second temple become unholy?

When did the law become unholy?

How can those under the law be judged according to the law, if the law no longer exist (in full)

[Caleb]

Mic 1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Mic 1:2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Mic 1:3 For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.

Psa 11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

Hab 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

We see from above that the Lord was in His Heavenly Holy Temple even in the OT, yet there was still a physical temple (shadow) on earth at that time. So why do some say that it is unholy to have a physical temple during these days?

And why do some call it the 'second' or 'third' when it was simple the temple that was rebuilt, and why do we call the spiritual temple 'new' or 'third' when it has always been?

He is the chief cornerstone of the temple made without hands, of which we (believers) are all part.

Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Again as the scriptures imply, Jesus is not the temple made without hands......

So Jesus being the chief conerstone does not mean he is the temple. He is the cornerstone OF the temple. Figurative just as the apostles are the foundation?

Physical or not, Jesus is not the temple alone.

no, the church as a whole is.

thats why Jesus is the cornerstone, the chief block (salvation) and the apostles are the foundation, they were the first's building the house up from the cornerstone. It's actually quite awesome to invision on a large scale.

We agree..... Jesus himself is not the temple.

Tradition and culture took some Jewish Christians there until AD70; ...

I find it odd that it was FOURTY years after Jesus died that the temple was destroyed and the sacrifice stopped. Fourty! Can you believe that? Must be some connection there, about wandering in the desert only leads to our destruction. We can wander aimlessly in the desert, or have a direction and purpose?

I didn't say He was the temple alone. The temple is built upon Him.

[warfrog]

I didn't say He was the temple alone. The temple is built upon Him.

Amen. plus 15 characters.

We agree...... but i did not see anybody correcting previous statements that he alone was the temple.
