Now I can only read your comments of denial of its overall importance against what I see in history and there are more sources and experts to be consulted in this matter of the temple than I listed.

Disagreement is inevitable really because, of course, Christians see the ‘sacrificial system’ as crucial where Jews see it as ‘a part of’, it’s not an argument that is resolvable.
The only thing to really respond to is what you said concerning the New testament. Its true the New testament doesn’t mention every time Jesus visited the temple (although it is no coincidence when Jesus was in Jerusalem he sought to teach from there as a priority) but that should not automatically mean he only went there the odd time, rather that is something that is not mentioned except the times that it is in the New testament, and we can say little (although I suspect he went often) on that. That Jesus ran the money changers out of the temple should indicate the importance Jesus felt the temple had.

Oh, I think it’s highly significant that the NT only mentions a couple of visits to the Temple but that’s not a resolvable disagreement either. 🙂
