1 Corinthians 3:16 (NIV)

16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

************************

Perhaps if we focused on God’s dwelling within our hearts and not on externals like buildings, regardless of their shape, or even their existence at all, we would grow closer to Him.

What’s wrong with you!? A grand church building is directly proportional to the devotion of the followers! Remember the grand church building erected by the disciples? It had a big, uh, you know and many, many beautiful, uh, things of that time. People like you always try to insert scripture truth into serious discussions!
Tag not needed. I hope.

It was God himself who directed the details of the Tabernacle. We are beings made by God with the ability to sense our environment. God speaks to us through our senses.
