How do we know that God does not dwell in man-made temples?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible explicitly states that God cannot be contained in temples built by human hands, as He is the Creator of all.

In Acts 17:24, the Apostle Paul clarifies that God does not dwell in temples made by human hands, asserting His nature as the Creator of the universe. This assertion underscores God's independence and greatness; He is not confined to physical structures. Furthermore, Isaiah 66:1 emphasizes that the heavens are His throne, signifying that no earthly temple can contain Him. Therefore, the idea that God resides within a structure contradicts the biblical portrayal of God as sovereign and transcendent over all creation.
