We do need to be careful not to reject clear revelation. This is a good, cautious and reverential spirit to follow. "..if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." (John 8.24)

I strongly think basic modesty is important and Scriptural. However, if it's lipstick you somehow have a problem with, we need just to remember that over 100 years ago it was associated with woman suffrage, and the activities of Elizabeth Arden, for example. "In 1912, Arden alongside 15,000...

Father, Son and Holy Spirit are deeply present in the New Testament, especially in John's Gospel, John's First Epistle, Romans 8, etc.

The fact that in the New Testament the Lord Jesus is recorded as having quoted from the Septuagint is part of the equation.

I think I read that Eastbourne pier had a fire, too, in recent years. The old wooden structures are quite prone to being flammable. A bit like a lot of buildings on the Prairies; it's not unusual to hear of fires; and in fact in some places on the Prairies if a house is left derelict (often the...

Sometimes theologians speak of theophanies, that is, manifestations of the Second Person of the Trinity before the Incarnation.

The comment was by way of a continuation of the discussion on this and on the history thread.

Well, this is Canada... :)

@Pearl Thanks for the 'like'; my guess is that there is probably quite a concentration of parlors in Blackpool also.

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

If you have not been to Bletchley Park, you would find it fascinating; I do suspect that you would already know more about it than I do, though.

You are right; they are somewhat different in some ways. Seems like Southport near Blackpool would also fulfill for its area some of what Brighton also is, with its sought after residential areas.

I went to Bletchley Park and did a tour of the site where the cryptographers worked; fascinating. There is also the Turing memorial at Manchester University.

Well, Victoria and Henry VIII were major figures as monarchs. So was George IV, but his fame for arty pursuits and for his extra-curricular activities became so well known that historically they seemed to eclipse his period as monarch.

On the other thread we have been discussing Brighton, which is very much a centre for the tattoo industry in southern England. Visitors to the area over there who have tattoo art interests would find it a place to include on their itinerary. Over the course of time, comparable businesses seem...
