To describe a human body as a temple is a very apt idea. The purpose of a great temple is that we have a place to worship God. One may visit St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, or St. Paul's in London, or Notre Dame in Paris; they all were built for the same purpose: to glorify God. We would not permit anything immoral to happen within the sacred bounds of any temple of Christian worship. The idea is most repugnant.
Why then should persons misuse their physical bodies, when our Christian belief is that Christ abides within us, thus making our bodies temples of his Spirit?
