If Seventh-day Adventists practiced what they profess to believe, if they were sincere health reformers, they would indeed be a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.
Counsels on Health, p.575, May, 1902

Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own; for ye were bought with a price; Glorify God therefore in your body.

19 Or didnt you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Dont you see that you cant live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for?
(The Message)

 The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you.

20 God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.
(The Message)

1 Corinthians 3: 1-3 The Church is called a holy temple.

1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not with meat; for ye were not yet able to bear it: nay, not even now are ye able; 3 for ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk after the manner of men?

Corinthians 3: 4-7 The Church is called a holy temple.

4 For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men? 5 What then is Apollos? and what is Paul? Ministers through whom ye believed; and each as the Lord gave to him. 6 I planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

1 Corinthians 3: 16-17 The Church i called a holy temple.

1 Corinthians 3: 16-17

16 You realize, dont you, that you are the temple of God, and God himself is present in you?

The Message

17 No one will get by with vandalizing Gods temple, you can be sure of that. Gods temple is sacred and you, remember, are the temple.
