How do you know that those who destroy God's temple are Christians?
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, so don't be joining it to a prostitute.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
You all together are the temple of God, so don't defile that temple (context, division)! Any who destroy God's temple, God will destroy!
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
But these verses do not actually tell us that God will destroy a Christian. And even so, If this is saying that God will cast some of His children into the Great Tribulation, It says that God will destroy them, not that they will be saved though as through fire. Right?
Much love!
Death is the destruction of the flesh, which is the physical bodies; as their spirits will be with the Lord after death.
