Read Acts.

 

[Zeke]

Yep and the kingdom of God/heaven is in man Luke 17:20-21, and the temple is also 1Cor 3:16, etc..Time to cross the river and leave the killer behind 2Cor 3:6.

 

[freelight]

so where did paul go?

Any evidence that he did? Even Peters supposed visit to Rome or his burial place is a matter of speculation beyond what could be deduced from historical accounts, heresay, legend, etc.

Man is the temple of God. All religious truths and spiritual relations are interpreted within such a context, since 'as above, so below'.....'as within, so without'.

All is spirit.

It is an expression of hope that will not come down to this earth, but will be on the NHNE, which does not have the same kind of corporeal existence as now. For ex., God is the light; there will not be a sun.

The new Jerusalem is only a make believe city for make believe Christians.

Then how do you interpret the mention of this city in scripture, and in what way is it 'made up'?

I was implying it's a real city with real foundations and real walls. The new Jerusalem is usually portrayed as a cube or a pyramid with the length, breadth and height all being equal. The pyramid shape seems the most plausible with the throne room of the Father at the tip of the pyramid. The pyramids of Egypt would be models of what the city looks like.
