Why did Paul the Apostle compare humans to temples of God?

When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior (Born Again; Saved; Regenerated; come to the Lord, a Christian) the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in that person. The Holy Spirit is "God the Holy Spirit", the third person of the Trinity. I Corinthians 3:16-17, " 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." I Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." The Christian's body is a temple because the Holy Spirit dwells with in them. We belong to God.

What chapter in the bible does it say to protect your body as it is the temple of the Holy Spirit it is sinful to hurt it intentionally in any way?

1Cor:3:17: If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1Cor:6:19: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?


What does your body is like a temple of the holy spirit mean?

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (King James Version)19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.1 Corinthians 3:16 (King James Version)16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? John 14:17 (King James Version)17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Acts 1:4 (King James Version)4And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. These verses indicate a number of things about the temple of the Holy Spirit. This is the physical body of the Christian believer, in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, as was promised by Jesus. This is also referred to in the verse directly above as the 'promise of the Father.' The temple is a reference to the form or structure in which the Spirit dwells. The consequence of this is that the believer has an awesome responsibility to live up to the high calling as well as not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God.Every person on earth is, in a sense, a temple, since all are made in God's image. Not every person is a temple of the Holy Spirit, since not everyone is a Christian believer.


Temple of the holy spirit?

1 Corinthians 6:19New International Version (NIV) 19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;


What does this verse means You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you If you have received the Holy Spirit from God So you do not belong to yourselves...?

When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in that person. That person's body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You should honor your body as the Holy Spirit dwells there. He was given to you by God when you accepted His Son Jesus. Now your body belongs to God. He created it and He will renew it when you are resurrected. This is one of the reasons we obey God because we belong to Him , body, soul, and spirit. Why were we given the Holy Spirit to dwell within us? To be a helper to us. He comforts us in times of trouble. He helps us in our prayers to God. He convicts us if we sin and leads us back to God. He illuminates the Holy Word to us as we read and He teaches us. He witnesses to us that we are the children of God. And He does much more for us than we can imagine.


When you receive the holy spirit where does he specifically dwell in the body?

I can not answer this as to where in the body the Holy Spirit dwells, mainly because I do not know specifically where in my body my spirit dwells. I do believe the Holy Spirit dwells in my spirit (wherever that is). Man's spirit is that part of me that relates to worship and divine communion with God. It could be that empty space in each man that God wants to fill with Himself.


How many holy temples are there in world?

The question is "How many Holy Temples" are there in the world? This is easy. Millions. According to 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or do you know know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price, so glorify God in your body." This verse is very clear to answering this question. Only those who have received Jesus Christ as their personal savior have the Holy Spirit within them. Another term for this is "born again" as mentioned by Jesus in John 3:3. All believers in the world who have received Jesus in their heart are God's Holy Temple. According to the Bible, there are believers in all nations of the world. Therefore, millions have received Christ as their Savior and Lord and by doing that, makes them all a Holy Temple, because the Holy Spirit lives in them.

What is the body of christ and temple of the holy spirit?

The body of Christ are true believers (The Church). Not everyone in a church is part of the body of Christ because we know that not all church members belong to Christ. Some are counterfeit or false. See Romans 12:4-5; I Corinthians 12: 12-14; 12:27; Ephesians 5:29-30; Colossians 1:18. The temple of the Holy Spirit is also the Body of Christ (Ephesians 2:19-22) and each individual believer (I Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:20).
