Did God command a third Temple to be build by men?

No he didn't at all. The NT says otherwise. The reality is he was buried in Talpiot. His ossuary was found there.

No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

The idea is that God is in His "place" which isn't physical. We can't conceive where He is.

The word choice of "temple" is more of an idea than a place.

God has a place. He isn't no where. The Bible calls it His Holy Temple. Deal with it.

Yep. He could either decide to follow the Father's will or not. He could decide to die or not. It's clear God raised Jesus according to the NT.

Romans 6:4; Acts 2:32

Jesus didnt do a good of being raised with his bones being in an ossuary, don't you think? ;)

Outside of creation, time and space, so to speak. For a non-physical Being, speaking of where He is doesn't apply.

Do you understand? Speaking of a physical place before creation where a non-physical God resides is contradictory and non-sequitur.

I never said God is physical. Not once. He's not "nowhere" according to the Bible though. Nowhere doesn't exist.

Normally I'd say yes. But I have to remember that I am often speaking to Christians in here, who have this idea that a temple is their body, or the church, or in heaven, or anything else except what a temple actually is.
