@TheBaltimoreKnight Stop doing wrong, learn to do right!" I know that was kind of long, but God wasn't just pleased with the sacrifices, it was the ginuine worship life that went into the act of the sacrifices.

[TheBaltimoreKnight]

@TheBaltimoreKnight meaningless offerings! Your incense is destestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations-- I cannot bear your evil assemblies.Your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight!

At some point in time, the sacrifices to God became worthless to him as God revealed to the prophet Isaiah in the Tanakh (The Old Testament).

A question; could the site of the first temple have been humanly chosen, I mean the precise location chosen for building, even if on the basis of legend or tradition? Abraham is said to have lived long before David and Solomon. What about building a temple in Jerusalem to the west of the city as an experiment? People build fine buildings all the time, it would be in an unencumbered location - also an uncontested location - and it could still be within the modern municipal borders.

Besides if destruction of the temple and the replacement of sacrifices with prayers would really be an improvement why are we mourning the sacrifices in those same prayers and praying for the rebuilding of the temple and the reinstitution of karbonos?

Guide for the Perplexed is a book on philosophy not a instruction to practical performance of halacha which is found in another book Rambam compiled - the Mishna Torah which prescribes exact measurements of the temple it's vesels and services, but I am sure you know all this.
