Who claims we are His Temple Anyway ? (rhetorical but freely discuss what Scripture Says Directly here).

How many ancient books declare God's Plan and Purpose and Promise to not have any disease, and why/ how ?

We together are His temple , we are the church .

I dunno

We become a temple of God upon genuine conversion. That to me would make what the calvinists sometimes refer to as the invisible church ️ His living breathing temple individually and collectively. I don’t know how a genuine vs faux conversion takes place. In my own personal experience my religious belief gave way to what I believe to be genuine conversion by an act of God because…mercy? Godly pity? Love? His good pleasure?

I kind of think that He still wills healing and physical restoration but I’m wondering why a lot of it happens outside of the established church especially the established church in more affluent countries.

Example: I knew a minister who did yearly trips to an impoverished country. He saw healings. Some were dramatic as in the afflicted individual came to believe upon Jesus Christ and then healing came rapidly. And yet…

Not so much in his own churches. I wonder if it’s because God saw fit to heal the least of these rapidly in this lifetime…

While perhaps in places where people have access to sanitary water and good hygiene and nutrients and modern medicine He has seen fit to work differently?

Personal note : I had all kinds of health problems that were never addressed by modern medicine. I don’t think it was even a realistic option. 12 years after my genuine conversion and over 20 years since the serious health issues began full force…

I’m healthy and also intelligent. My intelligence was deliberately destroyed by psychiatrists who are in the one branch of medicine that destroys the system they claim to heal. I don’t get it?

It is written...by Paul..."Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (1 Cor 3:16-17)
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" (1 Cor 6:19)

I have no idea.

Without <true> faith trusting the Creator and Messiah Yeshua it is impossible to please God.
Rich or poor, true faith is what matters.
Jesus Himself Says it is harder for someone with money to be healed - i.e. their faith is misplaced, their love of money precludes loving Jesus.

No where does the bible promise Christian an illness or injury free life, the reverse in fact is promised.

Just as Jesus was hated and brutally treated so we can expect a world that hates Jesus to equally dislike us.
