Jesus Christ said our bodies are a temple and that Harrod's temple would be destroyed to the point of not one stone being left upon another. Well Titus came through and destroyed the temple fulfilling Christ's prophecy.
Jesus Christ focused on how we should live and behave and how we should treat others. In short, have clean thoughts, be good and treat others like you would like to be treated.
Nowhere can it be found that Christ said you need to go to a temple to be saved or reach heaven. Christ talked about being generous and helping the poor and the needy but he didn't talk about building expensive temples and wearing weird clothes and paying a lot of money for the privilege of being able to enter.
In fact. Christ drove the money changers from the temple being angry that they had turned it into a business. I don't think Christ would be particularly happy that poor families had to pay 10% of their income just to get a card so they can enter the temple to attend a wedding.
In the church it's all about temples now. I personally never found the temple all that spiritual or anything to rave about. It always seemed like an assembly line. I felt like I was on Candid Camera dressing up silly and do silly stuff. I saw it as demeaning and not fulfilling.
Yeah the church gives lip service to being a Christian church but Christ said our bodies are temples. He said nothing about building more or what goes on inside of LDS temples. The temples are idols. It makes zero sense the temple in Rome to exist. There are hardly any members there and the church is shrinking in Europe. The Rome temple is simply a show piece. An idol. An idol the church leadership and members worship.
I'm sure at least ten more idols will be announced this coming General Conference and some of them will be built in places where there are few Mormons but the church will build them anyway.
