It's a fraternity, not a religion. There is no historical evidence to support a continuous functioning line from Solomon's Temple to the present. Even if there were, there is going to be some changes to fit the needs of the children of God today. We're not going to be preforming ritualistic slaughter of animals as was done in Solomon's Temple.
