The Jewish Passover was the occasion chosen by Christ Jesus to talk about the Truly Temple of God: The body receiving the Holy Spirit so, the explicit rejection of Jewish practices by Christ Jesus droving salesmen from the temple area scattering the coins of the money changers and overturning their tables demonstrating tacitly without ambiguity nor contradictions that the building built by Jews and called by them the temple is an area to exercise commercial activities, that’s why the persons visiting this place are clearly vendors of cattle, sheep and doves and the area where they selling their animals to obtain money is certainly a market however, it’s not a legal commerce since dealers proclaiming that it’s a temple area to pray but in reality, they dissimulating their truly attention that’s to have a community of persons constituting a potential buyers to collect material gains ,as a result, it’s clearly a sectarianism.
However, if Christ Jesus had broken the merchandise of sellers, this explicit act demonstrating his clear hostility toward the activities of traffic arguing that it’s not God’s Temple since it’s not a Holy area where faithful Humans praying God because simply there is not a holy place to pray God so Christ Jesus had demolished the conception of the holy land to build the Truly Temple: His Body where residing the Holy Spirit since the beginning.
So, Christ Jesus establishing the conception of The Human Temple not the Human at the temple since there is not an area able to receive the Holy Spirit coming from God but the hearts of the Apostles of Christ Jesus are God’s Temple, Father’s House, conceived to be destined to pray God.
That’s why, when the Jews demanded to Christ Jesus a miraculous sign demonstrating His divine authority, He answered them saying:
“Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the -script-ure and the words that Jesus had spoken.”
Moreover, since Christ Jesus testifying Himself through His Holy Resurrection about the Truly God’s Temple, all activities done by persons called monks´-or-nuns in areas called church are activities of traffic , so, the baptism for example is a commercial custom without religious meaning since it practiced by vendors of illusion looking for false ceremonies always to obtain material gains.
So, if the Prophet John the Baptist sent by God to accomplish the mission of the baptism with water preparing the way to the Lamb of God: Christ Jesus baptizing with the Holy Spirit, testifying about the necessity of the purification of the spirit from sins to be able to receive the Holy Spirit coming with the Son of God and God himself Christ Jesus,
the testimony of John the Baptist is true because he answered to Jews asked him about the legitimacy of his testimony telling them that he is not the Christ, nor Elijah explaining to Pharisees that he baptize in water “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing”
So, it’s clear that John the Baptist is a great Prophet since about him Christ Jesus saying to his Apostles:
“Then what did you go out to see? A prophet ? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way before you.’[c]
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist”
Besides, as Prophet, John the Baptist received the voice of God in his heart telling him that his holy mission is to prepare the coming of the Son of God: Christ Jesus, and the Prophet accomplished his mission of baptism with water loyally “on the other side of the Jordan “, so, great Prophet as he was, he doesn’t receive any instruction from God to build a building called church to baptize people but he baptized in the Jordan River to the confession of sins and repentance.
So, to prepare the way to the Holy Coming of Christ Jesus, John the Baptist prepared people to hear the Truth consisting in the necessity of penitence and repentance, the subject of his baptism with water, to be able to receive the Holy Spirit to be baptized by Christ Jesus, that’s why John the Baptist “preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near”
In another hand, since Christ Jesus establishing the Religion, his Divine Revelations are without ambiguity , so, if the Baptism needing a building to be realized, , why Christ Jesus, Son of God and God Himself didn’t say clearly to His Apostles : you have to build a church to baptize the Humanity? However, He was crucified and He was raised from the dead, to be a living Testimony about the eternity of God’s Temple: The Holy Spirit resurrected with a holy body without sins, that’s why in “Peter Confession of Christ”, Christ Jesus affirmed: “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it”.
As a result, it’s clear that God’s Church is a Spiritual House indestructible and eternal not a material building destructible and earthly.
