Is there a temple standing now? yes or no.
You don't get to ask questions of me until some parity has been demonstrated by answering the question asked in Post 72. Please show me where scripture mentions another temple will be built in our future.
Did Jesus return when the second temple was destroyed? yes or no.
I'll answer this one
even though I have already answered it, just so it cannot be said I haven't done my part. Yes, Jesus di come when the second temple was destroyed but he did not come as Dispensationalists say he has to come. The issue isn't a conflict with scripture. The issue is a conflict with Dispensational Premillennialism. The conflict starts right at the point when the Dispensational Premillennialists claims scripture mentions another temple will be built in our future but cannot point to a single scripture that actually states such and think and then tries to foist eisegetic interpretation of various scripture on other when they ask the DPer to account for his own claims.
There is no verse mentioning another temple built
at all, much less one that says another temple will be built
in our future.
Dispensationalists take any prophecy about any temple and assume it refers to our future because that's what the eschatology tells them to think. Dispensationalists take any prophecy about any temple and infer a futurist application because the scripture is used selectively, and all the surrounding texts and contexts are ignored.
EVERYTHING in Matthew 24 is tied to what Jesus said in Matthew 23 and what he said as he left the temple in Matthew 24. It is those comments that prompted the disciples to ask their question, "
When will these things happen?"
They will happen when the temple is destroyed.
No one knows the day or the hour, but it will happen in this generation (not that generation). That is when it is going to happen. And along the way you disciples to whom I am now speaking are going to be handed over to tribulation (you're not going to be removed from the planet to escape it). The great tribulation comes after the abomination of desolation, and I just got done telling the Pharisees right in front of you that their house was left desolate. That desolation is abominable. I'll come after that.
It will not be the last time I come, but it will be the last time I come in this age. The ends of the ages have come upon you guys and you guys will be living in the last times, the last days...... of the temple's idolatry 
. I will be replacing the temple with my body. This temple of stone you see will be torn down, and a new one will already have been built to replace it. It will be destroyed so there is no more confusion about where God dwells because He will dwell in you. You will become the temple of God, the house of God not built by human hands, the house of God that God built with His resurrected Son, the root of Jesse, the Son of David. You heard me tell the Jews when I entered the temple that this temple would be destroyed and I would rebuild it in three days. You will soon understand I was talking about my body. Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? After that you will see me coming on clouds of the sky. It will be just like it was in the days of Noah when the floods came and killed everyone except for those God had chosen to survive. The ones God chose remained to live with God in a covenant relationship, only by the time I come on the clouds of the sky..... sin and death will have been defeated.
How these things happened is of some debate because scripture does explain all the hows. Scripture does state when, though.
Unlike the Dispensationalist, I can actually point to verses in the Bible that actually say what I posted when asked to do so. We're nine pages of posts into this thread and I still have yet to see you post where scripture mentions another temple will be built in our future. It's because Dispensational Premillennialism is believed more than the Bible as written. We've spent several weeks now discussing many things and the threads all end the same: An inability to provide scripture that actually states what's claimed, an inability to reconcile claims with explicit statements in scripture, multiple occasions were sound exegesis is neglected, strawmen, shifting onuses, false equivalences, and ad hominem.
One
single
solitary
question was asked one hundred and four posts ago and it remains unanswered despite it's having been asked multiple times. Not one attempt to answer it has actually answered the question asked. That failure speaks volumes about the veracity of Dispensational Premillennialism. The attempts to pass of verse that don't answer the question as if they do reinforces the poverty of modern futurism. It cannot answer multiple rudimentary inquiries directly related to its claims.
There should be no expectation I will answer any more of your questions until I read in this thread a verse that actually mentions another temple will be built, and built in our future.
No way in heaven and earth they'd have thought, "Oh, Paul is talking about some other temple, a temple that is going to be built more than two millennia from now by a bunch of people we've never met after we're all long dead, buried, and resurrected." That interpretation is exegetically preposterous.
