I believe that God enabled me with the ability to make correct decisions in life. He has given me the power to overcome all obstacles life may bring. I feel that I have the power of God inside of me.
I believe that this is what Jesus meant by asking that we respect the "temple". And he made mention of destroying the temple only to build it up again. Do you agree that this temple God refers to is the body?

1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
keep in mind you have to have the Holy Ghost for this to apply

I believe that God in His fullness lives inside of me. I am His beautiful temple. Jesus was talking about Himself when destroying the temple (His body) and building it again. Once Jesus died the temple curtain was ripped, no longer need to sacrifice again.

Yes you are correct Jesus told them that he would not leave them alone that he would send the comforter which is the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit comes and takes up abode in the body of every believer at the moment that they recieve Jesus as their Saviour.

Yes, Jesus said that once you accept Him as your savior, Father,Son and Holy Spirit move into your spirit and you become the temple. Our body becomes the "Temple".

Which is to say you are the temple. (1 Cor 3:16)

GOD,S temple is himself GOD including you .there is nothing where GOD does not reside.it is which way you want to see.whatever you said in side that will end one day,and which is outward that will also end one day. only you are the one who never born and will never end. so think about you ,who are you?there is no difference between you and your GOD.only the way to approach him is different.think this way ,that you are a just a drop of a ocean .when you are in your body ,you are with some limits,but when your body will expire ,then you will dissolve in the ocean.(UN limited GOD.) thanks.

i very much agree that god gives everyone a beautiful temple or "home" to house there soul and spirit and to do any thing that will damage it or put in in danger im sorry to say it but it piss's god off because we always take our precious life's for granted when we dont even relize it but he/she /it/ know's we all make mistakes and were going to make mistakes all our life but thats how we learn and grow right??? but we must always "ALWAYS" belive god is there for us to teach us,to guide us, and most importanly to help us make a better life for yourself as well as anyone else that can benifite from your knowledge ... ...you know you sound like a really smart intelligent person you would be a very cool person to meet someday.

Yes, but I believe it has a very different meaning. God cannot stand to look at sin, and he cannot abide where sin can be found. So, I believe that this illustration in the Bible is about Christians living their life in a way that is pleasing to God. It also means not to pollute your mind with things that do not please God.

The Temple within this body is in decay....a ruin.

we are vessels used of GOD according to HIS purpose and plan...
I don't make the mistake that I have heard made of others-because GOD'S SPIRIT (the HOLY GHOST) dwells within me, that doesn't make me "GOD"...no more than it would make the glass that holds water be made of water instead of a glass....Two seperate things, and we know that the WORD says that the flesh is at enmity with GOD.
