Does God dwell in temples? God dwells in temples. God does not dwell in temples. 1 Kg.8:13 "I have surely built thee [God] an house to dwell in." 2 Chr.7:12, 16 "I [God] ... have chosen this place to myself for a house. That my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually." Acts 7:48 "The Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands."
