AMEN, Dutchboy88. Any attempt to recreate Christ's finished work is an abomination. There is no "temple" today. "What? know ye not that YOUR BODY is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is IN YOU, which ye HAVE OF GOD, and ye are not your own?" 1 Cor. 6:19. Everything we are, we have, and we will have one day is spiritual. We are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. We can go bodly to the throne of God. There is one mediator between God and man, Christ Jesus. We are COMPLETE in Him. He resides IN US, and we reside IN HIM. THere is no "place" to go to to find God. He is either in you or not in you, but He is not in a building, waiting for you to come to Him. He resides in a temple made without hands. The body of every believer. Our inheritance is in heavenly places, not earthly.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."Eph. 1:3. "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Eph. 2:6.

There is not a man, an organization, a ceremonial priesthood, a pope, an indulgence, a sacrament, a Saint, or an absolution of sin by other men that would only stand in the way of our direct standing IN CHRIST.

Is not Christ the temple? Is he not the head and We the body?
