3. Speaking of a building made with hands as 'God's house' does not express any Biblical concept, but instead actually expresses a concept that is contrary to a clearly taught bible doctrine (see 1 and 2 above).
4. Therefore, we should not refer to a building made with hands as God's house.

Did God EVER really "Dwell" in man made temples or did He simply meet man there?
How do you explain Solomon's Temple being called the House of God and Jesus calling Herod's Temple "My Father's House"? (I've asked this three times now)
