	In the scripture cited above, Paul is addressing Greeks (the Athenians) and their temple "to an unknown god". Paul's point is that God does not swell ''solely'' in a physical object, like the temple of Athena at Athens (see {{s\|\|Acts\|7\|48}}). This is not to say that there is no temple where the true God can be worshiped—Paul respected the temple and even underwent ritual purification after one of his missionary journeys (~~REF~~). The early Christians also continued to show [[Temples/Obsolete after Christ\|great reverence]] to the Jerusalem temple. Rather, Paul argued that God is the God of the whole world and can be ~~worshiped~~ at all times and at all places.

	An analysis of the Greek text also supports this view, since the term, "made with hands" likely refers to idolatrous worship.		An analysis of the Greek text also supports this view, since the term, "made with hands" likely refers to idolatrous worship.
