I believe there is a honeymoon period for Rudd and if he doesn't move soon his party will be wiped out anyway

12Will Rudd learn from the lesson of Brown?
by slimboyfat inisn't australian politics fascinating?
having toppled the woman who first toppled him, prime minister rudd now faces the choice of calling an election sooner or later.
it was a similar choice that faced gordon brown in the uk when he replaced tony blair in 2007. gordon brown was remarkably popular at the time, a brief popularity that came out of nowhere and that equally disappeared never to return.

Did the Apostle Paul teach and believe in the "bodily reserrection of Christ" doctrine?
by booker-t ini often encounter trinitarians that say all of the apostles believed in the bodily reserrection of christ.
they often point to isolated verses in the bible where jesus is called a "man" after his reserrection and this they believe is proof positive.
the seem to throw out all of the verses in the new testament that shows jesus arose "in the spirit" (1 pet 3:18).

mp, If I said on friday I would be traveling to your place and I would be returning on sunday to my place I could say I was spending three days with you. We would both agree I would spend the whole of saturday with you but what about the other two days? If I spent 1 hour on friday with you and two hours on saturday with you haven't I still been with you for three days?
Mp , Rea 1 corinthians 15 verse 50 -55 it says there we 'will be changed in a flash , in the twinkling of an eye'

I just had a look at some videos about plastic surgery in Korea and found out everyone there is plastic. This years miss Korea is reported as saying 'I never said I was born beautifull. And someone put together all the miss world contestants over there apart from the hair they re all clones.
Apparently people in Korea have a very narrow view of what is beautiful. Its scarey

Do you think that "Born Agains" will eventually abandon the "Hellfire" doctrine?
by booker-t ini have talked to christians for years on this subject and they all seem more confused then ever.
some born agains have a hard time reconciling hellfire damnation with jehovah's loving personality.
the two just can't mix.

Are the 'born agains ' the ones that they have to speak in tongues to prove they are saved? My understanding is that all christians are born again and have the Holy Spirit.

Our Lord came to this earth with all the physical defects of sin. He wasn't like adam 9 ft tall and as broard as a door. When the bible speaks of flesh it is refering to the effects of sin in many cases.
Jesus said himself he would be a sacrifice and in three days he would be ressurected. What about the empty tomb? What about Thomas who said he wanted to place on Jesus wounds?What about when Jesus saw his followers and he asked for fish to eat and declaired a spirit doesn't flesh and bones.
As Jesus body was changed into a spiritual body so we will be changed at the second comming it says in revelation our bodies will be changed into an incorruptual body.
Christianity relys on the ressurection of the body and can be found in the creeds.

I think it would be a good approach to assimilate them into society to stay in our house for a year.
We could have beer, bible and koran nights. End of ramadan fiest with roast pork on a spit down at the mosque. Have fancy dress partys with hijab and burqu and play the great game of spot the suicide bomber.
Many a good hospitable people even though the religion is shit.

Larerite I didn't know you are an American. You Americans do speak the queens english so we are half way there and all we need to do is to make Obama the Governer General and we are nearly there. Thats if her majesty is willing and able to accept you back. Heads may role but it would be worth it and Elizabeths great grandfather would be vindicated
Does Hawaii still have the Union Jack in their flag?

Is it celebrity status? Do Americans regret not being part of the commonwealth? Are the royals in America just mainly interest for womens magazines.
If there are enough royals over there maybe you should have a referendum to change the constitution. You would then have to learn to play cricket instead of baseball.
