Claim. Once Adam and Eve had matured and were blessed in holy matrimony, God would have indwelt them as their internal nature, making them His substantial body — the temple referenced in 1 Corinthians 3:16.
Elaboration. “Adam and Eve were God’s son and daughter; at the same time, they were also His temples. Once they had matured … He intended to dwell in them … He would then have become the internal God, and human beings would have become His external form with substantial bodies” (3.2. Human beings: temples for God to indwell, 54-139, 1972.3.22). The temple is not an external structure: “Something man-made cannot be the most holy place. God builds the greatest sanctuary, where His love can dwell. This sanctuary, however, was lost” (ibid, 136-310, 1985.12.29). The mature-love location is specifically conjugal: “When Adam and Eve have fully matured and are making love, God, the Creator of the universe, would enter their bodies and make them into the most sacred temple of all” (ibid, 128-325, 1983.10.2). The implication: human ontology is God-indwelling external nature united by mature true love — a structural rather than ascriptive holiness.
