    The temple might not be built again in the near future but we Are the Temple of Today

    It's highly unlikely for the temple to be rebuilt at least on it's rightfull place cos there's the Dome of Rock there, and jews are not animals to destroy it, we respect culture.

    However, the Temple exists in Israel, it's in the jewish people there, always moving, growing, and evolving, like no other temple in the world.

    Do u agree?

    Is there something in your holy scriptures wherein your god says that he no longer care about temples?

    The entire Talmud was written to supplant the Temple centric world of the Jews.

    well it seems your implying we dont need the temple anymore since judiasm in itself is greater then any temple that could be built...and i agree even though it was a mandate from God

    its awesome to think about how hard history and the rest of the world has tried so hard to destroy judiasm, yet jews are still here today prospering and growing...i def think the jewish nation is greater then any temple

    This is all irrelevant because we do not have to bother ourselves with these heavy thoughts. The temple will be built when it is built and in that time there would be no resistance because the truth will be apparent to all. Simply bulldozing the dome of the rock and constructing something instead is perhaps the greatest sin imaginable. Not to speak that it will result in the first true Jihad since medieval times.

    The Dome will probably be taken out by a errant or partially intercepted missile fired from an Islamic nation. But don't worry, the usual suspects (the Jews) will be blamed anyway. I'm sure that there is a surplus of innaccurate Scuds (mobile launchers and all) somewhere in the ME. One of these is just as likely to do the deed as any other scenario. A big thud on the temple mount will likely be all that is needed to complete the demise of the bulge in the wall of the al Aqsa mosque too. Two birds with one stone, if you will. All in the name of the "religion of peace." Quite comical and at the same time sad really!!!

    And honestly, although i'd love to see the temple rebuilt again, i doubt that it will ever be rebuilt due to the Dome of Rock.

    If there will ever really be a way in which the dome will accidentaly collapse, it deffinetly won't be from an enemy scud, cos israel has Patriot missiles and i can bet my life on it that no enemy rocket will ever touch yerushalaim, but it would probably (very unlikely, but probably the only way) smth like a meteorit or smth (which could always be enterpreted as being sent from g_d)

    However, i do believe that g_d doesen't need us tu rebuild the temple in order for us to prove smth to him.

    It's odd to say this, but we could say that in his eyes to we could be seen as a nation compared to a temple, being ourselves our own temple and adjusting to nomater what circumstances. Cos unlike most ancient cultures, we've managed to keep our cultural and religious values even after the destruction of our most important symbol and temple, and even by living in exile.

    Now that's pride, and if there's smth g_d thinks about us, is not that "look at my people, incapable to build another temple! oy!" but "i'm proud of my people, they kept believeing me and keeping their cultural integrity event despite their temple has been destroied 2 times and they lived for almost 2000 years in exile from the land i promised them. Now that's the people i chose to represent me and i'm glad i made the rite choice!"

    I sense a theme with this misunderstanding stuff, Uriel.

    In any case, enemy rockets have already been hitting central Israel. Jerusalem would be a piece of cake. It would also put an end to the myth that Jerusalem is sacred land for Muslims, and result in an endless list of international casualties.

    To answer your question though, I don't think Jews are ready for the responsibility of rebuilding the Temple.

    No, you are wrong and missed my point. We shouldn’t bulldoze the Dome of the Rock because it is wrong from Judaism’s perspective, not because we are civilized or afraid to do that (that is simply not the issue). Religious discussions should be approached from the religious point of view, that's all.

    wel judaism perspective can be interpreted as Civilized...that's what i meant, and again, I never said anything about FEAR.

    I don't recall any rockets hitting central israel for over 15 years redcake.
