Well if we consider that man is the temple of the Holy Ghost...we are the 3 part temple of Solomon.
Outer courts: body
Inner courts: soul
Holy of Holies: spirit.
Well let's put the breaks on that shall we? For one, St. Paul says that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own," (1 Corinthians 6:19), he says this in relation to how we use our bodies, specifically in his condemnation of engaging in sex with temple prostitutes.
Elsewhere Scripture speaks of us--i.e. the Church--as God's temple collectively (c.f. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 6:16, 1 Peter 2:5, Ephesians 2:19-22).
