Christ Jesus and the Temple of Jerusalem
According to the Gospels, Christ Jesus did not neglect the Temple in Jerusalem.
However, it is strange that if Christ Jesus had been God as claimed by the Christian churches, God to be enshrined in the Temple was outside the Temple as Christ Jesus. Then the Temple was empty as Christ Jesus was outside the Temple.
But Christ Jesus got angry at merchants in the Temple and violently acted to drive them out of the Temple, overturning the desk of a money changer. If Christ Jesus had been God and not enshrined in the Temple, why did He have to mind those activities by merchants?
Even when Christ Jesus was a Child, He showed respect to the Temple of Jerusalem by calling it "my father's business":
Luk 2:45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.So, it is apparent that Christ Jesus was not God of Judaists who lived in the Temple of Jerusalem. If Christ Jesus had been God, the Temple should have been empty while Christ Jesus was preaching outside the Temple. It meant that Jewish people showed their respect to the empty Temple, but Christ Jesus did not tell them to stop praying in the Temple, since God, who was Christ Jesus, was out of the Temple.
Luk 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Luk 2:47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Luk 2:48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Luk 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
Anyway, it was after the Jewish-Roman War when the Temple of Jerusalem was burnt and destroyed that the Christian churches started to define Christ Jesus as God. As there was no Temple of Jerusalem, the discrepancy between God in the Temple and the man Christ Jesus could be avoided, which is however a kind of trick.
It is impossible that God was in the Temple of Jerusalem and simultaneously God was outside the Temple as the man Christ Jesus.
It is extremely difficult to regard Christ Jesus as God who should be enshrined in the Temple in Jerusalem, while Christ Jesus, who was God, was preaching outside the Temple.
