Re: Other Temples

There is therefore no logical reason for sacrifice to have ended with the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. Is it not possible sacrifice was suppressed by xians from the 300's onwards in conjunction with the suppression of "pagan" sacrifice? Julian did attempt to rebuild the temple! Or ...
