1 KINGS 8:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?”
"But will God indeed dwell on earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!" — The *fundamental theological problem*: the *infinite cannot be contained in the finite*. *Heaven and the highest heaven* cannot *contain* God, so how can a *human-built house*? The *paradox* is stated bluntly: the *temple is too small for God*.
