		<description>It is interesting how carefully and craftly made many church buildings are around the world.The have many &amp; different styles reflecting the era, the culture, the influences, trends in style and the liturgy. Much of what has become known as Christian actually comes from Paganism and worship of the sun &amp; the cults of fertility, as often are the day and holidays dedicated to worship or consecrated as holy days. Christmas &amp; Easter, for example,came from sun-worship and so did Sun-day, which many believe is kept in honor of Christ&#039;s Ressurection when Jesus, as good Jew, worshiped on Saturday &amp; may not have risen from the dead on the 1st day of the week but on Saturday evening,if 3 days and 3 nights are counted from His death day.

Thus, triangular shapes of spires &amp; window vaults have more to do with the fertility rights of Egypt and an influence from the Templars and Masons&#039; lodge than with the Trinity, which is a concept more in tune with Hinduism &amp; Mitraism than with Judaism,from which Christianity arose &amp; that preached the existence of a Unitarian God without partners or different manifestations.

The Hebrew &amp; the Christian Bibles both state that God doesn&#039;t abide in temples made by the hands of man, and although there was great joy when temples were built in the Old Testament and a sad omen hovered over Israel when they were destroyed,marking God&#039;s disapproval of the ways of His people and His almost abandonment of it.Jesus also prophesied that the temple of His days would be destroyed,as a sign of God&#039;s final abandonment of Israel as a chosen nation,after its rejection of His Messiah, for which Jesus cried over Jerusalem, saying that He had tried over and over again to attract His people to Him as the fulfillment of the meassianic prophecies.Hence,as Christ as the Lamb of God died on the cross as an atonement for the sins of Israel and the whole world, the veil of the temple ruptured from top to bottom showing that the way to the most holy place, or the presence of God,was available through the merits of Christ&#039;s atoning death for humanity.

So, we need no temples or rituals, or not even sacrifices any longer to try to &quot;appease&quot; the Deity, as even some &quot;Christian&quot; denominations claim, for Christ has already accomplished the task of being our atonement and is now our High Priest in the celestial courts. As beautiful as structures, temples, services and rituals might be, we don&#039;t exactly need them, and we are the temples in which God wants to inhabit through His Holy Spirit under the intercession of Jesus Christ, the Son.</description>
