WHY RELIGIOUS BUILDINGS & CHURCHES?
THE PURPOSES OF RELIGIOUS BUILDINGS & TEMPLES:
The Lord God authorized me to cultivate, enlighten, and empower Jesus Christ's nations and daughters in His love and grace. Please know this: I am not in the work of ministry to beg for money, but I do need financial supporters. I am in Christ's work and ministry to hear Jesus Christ say, "Well done, good and faithful minister;" this is the everlasting reward we are expecting to hear and receive. Glory to God in Jesus Christ.

In 1 Corinthians 3:16–17, the Apostle Paul hit on the true nature of the Church as the body of Christ when he asked, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are” ( Think ).
We are the temple of God means that we,, which Jesus Royal Believers Way Saints in Jesus Christ, who are joined together in one family as “the Church,” are a holy dwelling place for God’s presence.

The crowning achievement of King Solomon’s reign was the erection of a magnificent temple in Jerusalem, often called Solomon’s Temple or the First Temple. King Solomon’s father, King David, had wanted to build a great temple for God a generation earlier, as a permanent resting place for the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the Ten Commandments. However, God had forbidden him from doing so: "You will not build a house for my name for you are a man of battles and have shed blood" (1 Chronicles 28:3). Then King Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father King David (2 Chronicles)The crowning achievement of King Solomon’s reign was the construction of a magnificent temple in Jerusalem, often called Solomon’s Temple or the First Temple.

However, God had forbidden him from doing so: "You will not build a house for my name for you are a man of battles and have shed blood" (1 Chronicles 28:3). Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord had appeared to his father David (2 Chronicles 3:1). This new, stationary temple would replace the portable tabernacle constructed during the wilderness wandering. And it was built mainly for blood sacrifices. But in Jesus Christ, a much better way, we who are His are His Spirit-filled living temple.
If Solomon reigned from 970 to 930 BC, then he began building the temple in 966 BC. A very interesting fact about the construction of the temple was that there was no noise. The material was prepared before it was brought to the building site. The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built (1 Kings 6:7). The Bible’s description of King Solomon’s temple suggests that the inside ceiling was 180 feet long, 90 feet wide, and 50 feet high. The highest point on the temple that King Solomon built was actually 120 cubits tall (about 20 stories or about 207 feet). First Kings 6:1–38 and chapters 7—8 describe the construction and dedication of Solomon’s temple.
Until the first temple was destroyed by the Babylonians some four hundred years later, in 586 BC, sacrifice was the predominant mode of divine service there. Seventy years later, a second temple was completed on the same site, and sacrifices again resumed. The book of Ezra chronicles the building of the Second Temple. During the first century, Herod greatly enlarged and expanded this temple, which became known as Herod’s Temple. It was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70, during the siege of Jerusalem. Only a small portion of the retaining wall remains to this day, known as “The Wailing Wall.”Ex 3:1).

Today, the New Testament Church, the body of Jesus Royal Believers Way Saints who gather in The Name of Jesus Christ, constitutes His temple of God’s Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). Jesus Christ said, “Anyone who loves Him will obey His teaching. His Father will love them, and they will come to them and make their home with them” ( John 14;:23 ).
Apostle Paul also taught the Ephesians that, as members of God’s household, the Church is “built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as The Chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit” ( Ephesians 2:20–22 ).
The Church of Jesus Christ is a spiritual temple made of “Living stones . . . being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). Not only is the Church as a whole or as the community body the dwelling place of God’s presence, but individual believers are also to consider themselves the temple of God’s Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19; ) (. 2 Corinthians 6:16 ), ( Think). Amen.
