Which book in the Holy Bible states that the heart of man is on the right side of the body?

There is no Bible verse which states this. The Bible is not a book of human anatomy although it does mention various body parts. Mention of a person having a 'right heart' means a heart which is in a good state in terms of the attitude and belief of a person. This is a reference not to the physical pump which moves blood around but to the heart in terms of the persons faith and their attitude.

Where in the Bible can God's Spirit will not dwell in an unclean temple be found?

1 Corinthians Ch3:16-17Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. The Bible does not literally say that the Holy Ghost will not dwell in an unclean temple. But the Bible does say that if we are saved that our bodies are the temple of God and if that is so then the Holy Ghost is dwelling in you. If you have not asked God to come into your heart, you are a sinner and your body is not the Temple of God. The only way that your body an be the temple of God is to ask Him to live in your heart and soul. So in short I believe the scriptures IS saying that the Holy Ghost can not dwell in an unclean temple.


In the Christian Bible is there a Scripture that mentions anything about Anorexia if so what?

No; there is nothing mentioned in either the Jewish TORAH nor in the Christian Bible that specifically deals with anorexia. There is the understanding that your body is a human 'temple' in which Christians house the Presence of God. From this perspective, you would want to honor your temple so as not to bring shame to the Gospel of Christ.
