Temples: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:11, 21 September 2014

Can the Church be a temple or a temple a Church?

The English word "temple" derives from Latin templum, which was originally not the building itself, but a sacred space surveyed and plotted ritually. Today we associate a temple with the buildings that have survived through history.

What were their real purpose? Are other buildings like these temples serving government purposes or religious purposes?

Or are they one in the same?

What is the difference between public and private welfare?

What were they doing in what we call pagan temples?

And who is doing the same thing now?

Temple of Saturn - Bureau of Vital Statistics. Parents where required to get newborns registered (birth certificate) within 30 days at the Temple of Saturn so that everyone would know when the children reached the age to receive benefits.

The "Aerarium Stabulum" or treasure-house was the public treasury in Rome. It was used to store monies and record accounts of the state finances, copies of public laws engraved on brass plates, a record of the decrees of the Senate and other public registries, letters of credence from foreign diplomats and even the standards of the legions. These public treasures, records and accounts were all deposited on the eastern slope of the Capitoline hill within the temple of Saturn at the Forum Romanum containing several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome.

The "Aerarium sanctius" was a special reserve fund, also in the temple of Saturn. It was maintained by free contributions of Generals but eventually by a 5% tax on the value of all manumitted slaves. This source of revenue was established by a lex Manila in 357 B.C. and was the equivalent of an unemployment tax. The sanctius meant it was not to be touched except in dire circumstances.

"This unique temple of Saturn constitutes one of the oldest cult places of Rome. Before its foundation there had been a very ancient altar and temple itself was said to have been founded in around 497 BC." Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion: Transition and Reversal in Myth and Ritual. Tome II By H. S. Versnel

In the "Temple of Mars Ultor" Augustus established the "Aerarium militare" in AD 6 as well as the fiscus^[1]. It was a military treasury which contained the funds for veterans' retirement benefits. It was largely endowed by the emperor^[2] himself and supported by the proceeds of new taxes, an inheritance tax and a sales tax on auctions. It replaced the aerarium Saturni, and eventually became the municipal treasury of the city of Rome.

The Temple of Venus and Roma — in Latin, Templum Veneris et Romae — is thought to have been the largest temple in Ancient Rome. King Herod also built temple for the same function as His Temple in Jerusalem including King Herod's Temple to Roma and Augustus.

Temple of Diana in Ephesus - Christians were accused of robbing the Temple of Ephesus. It served as an underwriter for social welfare insurance and a central bank for at least the 127 countries which built the temple. Were Christians actually bank robbers? Or was something lost in translation? Read Investing in Diana.

In the Temple of Concord and Castor there were rooms cut in solid rock used as a repository of the treasury where it is said "that private citizens also deposited their money in the temple for safekeeping".^[3]

Temples were places where public religion and worship occurred but to understand what that means you must understand what Religion was supposed to be.

Public religious ceremonies took place outdoors, and not within the temple building. Some ceremonies ended with a temple or shrine, where a ritual object might be stored and brought out for use, or where an offering would be deposited. Sacrifices, like animals, would take place at an open-air altar within the templum and were eaten at festivals or distributed to the poor as a part of the public social welfare in the case of public religion.

The real Church established by Christ must be the temple of Pure Religion. The temple of God is made of living stones who care about one another in the love of Christ. They function through charity while the Temples of the world force the contributions of the people under the authority of men like Cain and Nimrod.

The Christian conflict with the people who persecuted them in the early days of the Church was mostly over their system of social welfare which was managed through their temples like Ephesus, Temple of Saturn and the Parthenon.

Romans had superstitions but they were practical people. They did not build without a purpose an a plan. Saturn was the god of agriculture. Agriculture needs calendars and records.

Temple of Nebo - Parents sent their children to the Temple of Nebo to receive their public education. Nebo was the Mesopotamian god of education, wisdom and oracles.

Eventually when the Roman State became the Benefactors of the people through its systems of welfare parents where required to register newborns (birth certificate) within 30 days at the Temple of Saturn so that everyone would know when the children reached the age to receive benefits.

The first building for maintaining public records in Rome, including the law, was erected under the protection of the temple of Saturn, as early as 509 B.C. but was possibly burned by the Gauls in 309 B.C. Other buildings were used until 78 B.C. when they built the great Tabularium, on Capitoline Hill, below the Temple of Jupiter, which was the symbol of the sovereignty and power of Rome.

Jewish Temples

Temple of Herod - Those baptized into Herod's government went to Herod's temple to receive welfare and social security benefits. More on the two types of baptism.

LISHKAS HAGAZIS

Lishkas Hagazis was known as the Chamber of Hewn Stone It was the top of the Jewish legal system. It was their supreme court building. Here the Sanhedrin, seventy-one judges met. They dealt with the more difficult cases and was the court of final appeal in all matters of Jewish law. They also gave the final approval for a Jewish king to go to war, oversaw the function of the Temple and of course the temple was a government building.

Also read more on how Christians weren't registered in central government of the day.

The Christians depended on a Holy temple made of living stones which was a network of people living by the perfect law of liberty and faith, hope and charity. Those that had shared with those who had true needs.
