I guess also the jurisdicitonal complexities of enforcement at a state and district level come into focus when hundreds of thousands of vehicles are daily going round the Beltway in Maryland, Virginia and DC. In Canada there is something similar. Ottawa is on the edge of Ontario, close to...

The context of Philippians 4.8 involves the activities of prayer, thanksgiving and rejoicing. These are also themes in 1 Thess. 5.

@Rita : I think also 1 Peter 4.15: is relevant: "let none of you suffer ... a busybody in other men's matters." A while ago seemingly a majority of the young men/boys at the very conservative local church where my wife and attend wore earrings; and of course so many Christians - women as well...

You're right! thanks. Yes, #196...

(Ummm...a bit off-topic?)

Michaelangelo's David when the pigeons are in the square.

@Rita: The fact is that, while some ppl might be quick to 'disapprove' of bikinis, some of the bigger bikinis in fact cover more than do some stringy one-piece swimsuits. I read about a Hollywood film director who wanted to re-create a beach scene from the 1950s. He couldn't do it because he...

I'm all for good, sound diets. I also remember Romans 14.20: "For meat destroy not the work of God."

(Are we getting a bit topic...? however absorbing the byways may seem...)

Well, I was really trying to get into the etymology of your term 'budgie smuggler', which I had not heard before; I guess that in such exotic places as the Gulf of Carpentaria, Bondi Beach, etc., the flora and fauna is doubtless most varied; but I forbear...

Are you talking about the male equivalent of dental floss bikinis?

PS @Jay Ross I agree it's probably not suitable for everyone everywhere in the world; good point.

Like the one at Edinburgh? I think the origin of the word to do with the Edinburgh one is soldiers who marched in Holland to the words 'tap toe' / 'tap two'.

I've not heard the term budgie smuggler before... (Do you mean...?) :rolleyes:

On the other thread, it was mentioned that the word 'judge' can really be used in the sense of exercising Godly discernment (rather than in constantly castigating ppl). On the topic in hand, after prayer, Bible study and Godly advice (which is how Godly discernment comes), you testify to having...

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! NB: If you have not yet voted in the pol, please vote now! :)

There is a resonance to it, indeed. I too use it with great profit.

"By faith...Noah..." (Hebrews 11.7).

@Preacher4Truth : Well, I doubt whether she would, frankly, and these days in church if anyone were to start a rant against all tattoos, there would probably be a venerable, Godly grandmother who would quietly listen, say nothing and afterwards silently peel a couple of centimetres of her sleeve...

Indeed so.
