Why still Temple theology??

Where did the church develop its Temple theology from? In the Old Testament worship was centred around the Temple, as that is where all the sacrifices and such happened, and where the glory of God dwelt. But as revealed in the New Testament, Jesus taught that the Temple was ready to be destroyed and he is the new Temple, as sacrifices are no longer needed, he being the final atoning sacrifice. Thus making it possible for us the commune directly with God and worship him without the necessity of priests and such. Jesus also taught that people no longer needed to go to a specific place to worship, as what was important was the heart of our worship, not the location or rituals.

Now I am not saying that traditions and places of worship are bad. I believe that the Scriptures also exhorts believers to meet together for prayer, worship, support and encouragement.

What I am saying is that we have fallen back into pre-Christ worship patterns, making the going to church the crux of worship, rather than the crux being the spirit and truth of worship, as displayed in generosity, love, compassion, charity, mercy, justice, brotherly kindness, etc. We have made the Sunday morning/night attendance at a building the mark of our Christianity, rather than making our everyday actions and attitudes the mark of our Christianity.

DC Talk once said:

The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians - who honour Jesus with their lips, walk out of the door, and dishonour him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.
