The sacrifices have to be at the temple location, It is whole complex procedure that has to be followed.
Does it?
This "Complex Procedure" you speak of MUST be followed by Genetic Levites who must first prove their Bloodlines are PURE:
Ezra 2:59,63
59 And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer; but they could not identify their father’s house or their genealogy, whether they were of Israel:...
These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but they were not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled.
As it would be IMPOSSIBLE today for anyone to follow this part of the Complex Procedure you brought up, I'm guessing you allow for some wiggle room here?
So instead of saying "it has to be followed" you might want to change your statement to something like:
"it is a whole, complex procedure that, for the most part, pretty much, should at least attempt to be followed as closely as possible today, even though it can never again be followed exactly as specified in scripture"
Of course, once you allow for even one deviation from the scriptural mandate based on your own whims, you open it up to unlimited deviations based an the whims of anyone, so your notion that the temple must be located in a specific spot goes right out the window....
