This causes a lot of debate. A physical building, or the human body?
I have always seen it is a physical temple.
2 Thessalonians 2 needs very careful reading.
God in some way is involved in the deception
11 [FONT="]And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
[/FONT][FONT="]Now this is quite heavy stuff if you think about. Paul starts off by telling the Church not to let any man deceive us, but then tells us that God is involved in the deception!
The deception then that God sends is not a human being, as Paul has said not to let a human being deceive you.
Personally I believe that the deception God sends is the very temple itself, which is why Paul calls it the 'Temple of God', when of course it is no such thing, it is the temple of Satan.
