You can’t call them white dwarves because that’s something else completely. So what would you call a white star that’s slightly more massive and more luminous than a yellow dwarf?
A white main sequence star.
Spectral type A stars are probably brighter than spectral type F stars, because A is an excellent grade to get, while F is pretty bad.
I have an english assingment due and I need to compare two short stories and a piece of art. I am soo lost! I like the story " the gift of Magi" it is easy to understand. But, I need another story to compare it with. It has to be one that is similar. It also has to be by a well know author!
The only thing I can think of is the disney Christmas movie with mickey mouse, that is a retelling of the gift of the magi (I think anyways). I suppose a clip of it, or the movie as a whole could be considered a piece of art.
that God decided sacrifice the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so that your fellow Christians would stop using the bible to justify the mistreatment of African-Americans?
Isn’t it great that he was willing to sacrifice another of his children so that the hateful bigots who didn’t believe that all people were equal would get to take a day off from work because their kid’s schools are closed?
Isn’t it wonderful that God, in all his glorious omniscience, waited until 1968 to teach his "Chrisitan Nation" that doing unto others as you would have done unto you applies to EVERYONE?
I mean, he could have just had Jesus teach everyone that, but he saved some of the glory for others. Isn’t God such a swell guy?
Trooper, I’m sinless. I was born that way. Jesus may have died for YOUR sins, but he couldn’t have died for mine (you see, I wasn’t alive back then, so I can’t be blamed for his death in any way shape or form).

Somehow, I don’t believe you. If you are, indeed, Black, at the very least you should have enough respect for yourself to capitalize it, as you would capitalize "Christian" or "Mexican" or "Canadian" or "Chinese." Don’t try to reprimand me for my use of Dr. King, I AM his dream. If you learn to respect yourself, you will be too.
Jeff S, yeah, it sucks when you have to work anyway, but once your kids are school aged you’ll either have a better job or at the very least, a valid excuse not to go to work that day.
To serve and protect: the people of which you speak, whom you say have had their day before your lord, those are our SENATORS, Congressmen, Governors, bosses, and more. Those people have NOT all died off.
I’m not saying that we haven’t come a long way, I AM saying as much as you Christians like to say that Jesus was the answer to everything, it wasn’t until Dr. King’s death in 1968 that America decided to start thinking seriously about treating all of it’s residents equally. Today, it still hasn’t completely made up it’s mind about that, but it does give the appearance by placating the masses with a public holiday. For some, that’s a whole lot better than nothing. For others, it’s simply a start.
I wish i got it off. This is a lot more celebrate-worthy than Christmas in my book.
Song of Solomon 5:1
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
myrrh is for burial; notably a gift baby-lonian
wise men (magi) gave their child King: Law.
(100 lbs mixed: Matthew 2:11… John 19:39)
punny thing is, he later refused wine + myrrh
(Mark 15:23)
milk is for babes: Hebrews 5
who are unskilful in the word,
unable to use senses to discern:
law: both good + evil: ends badly.
honey is also good for wounds,
a sweetner that does not spoil.
As for Solomon, didn’t he also say,
and notably seven times in his Eccl’s:
law is all vanity and vexation of Grace.
Paul concurs, doesn’t vex God’s grace.
James also concurs: law’s vain religion.
In the bible it tells of three wise men bearing gifts, gold, frankincense and myrrh. Can anyone tell me what happened to it please.
Matthew 2:1-3 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled."
Matthew 2:11 "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshiped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."
there is no evidence that there were three of them but there were three gifts…i guess they do what other people do when they get a gift basket….they used it….they fled to Egypt away from Herod…the gold of course was useful as money, myrrh was used as an oil base for perfumes mostly used in funerals so the bodies wouldn’t smell, frankincense had medical properties as well as burned as a welcome to guests….all pretty useful in their journey
Would they have given a clapper of a chia pet?
I think they wanted some Dora the Explorer dolls but there was too much lead content for a baby savior to handle. So they opted for Murr.
"may The day of three kings be filled with many gifts, and a new years filled with many blessings for you grandma. God Bless"

Espero que este Día de Reyes esté lleno de regalos y el año nuevo esté lleno de bendiciones para ti, abuela (or abuelita). Que Dios te bendiga
Hope that helps 
IT’S AMAZING.
Yes it has a lovely fragrance….reminds me of a Grateful Dead Concert.
"The vestiges of pagan religion in Christian symbology are undeniable. Egyptian sun disks became the halos of Catholic saints. Pictograms of Isis nursing her miraculously conceived son Horus became the blueprint for our modern images of the Virgin Mary nursing Baby Jesus. And virtually all the elements of the Catholic ritual – the miter, the altar, the doxology, and communion, the act of "God-eating" – were taken directly from earlier pagan mystery religions."
"Nothing in Christianity is original. The pre-Christian God Mithras – called the Son of God and the Light of the World – was born on December 25, died was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days. By the way, December 25 is also the birthday or Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Even Christianity’s weekly holy day was stolen from the pagans."
Christianity is nothing more than an ancient pagan religion dressed up in new clothes. In other words, "the names have been changed, but the players remain the same". These myths and practices have been around for thousands of years….long, long, long before anyone had even founded the city of Bethlehem, let alone heard of this jesus.
Salvation, heaven, hell, baptism, eucharist, virgin births, dying and resurected gods and much more are all of pagan origin. For some interesting reading on the pagan origins of the christ myth try:

A man was driving through Bethlehem Texas, he drove past the fire house with baby Jesus in the Manger with Mary and Joseph and then he pulled into the gas station and asked the lady who was working that night and asked what’s with the Naivety Scene? She asked don’t you read your bible? he said yeah. ……….. Didn’t you know the Wise men came from a fire?
for you who don’t understand, here is the punch line. They came from a fire.
Everyone, I made a question and it’s teach all religions in the world why there is evil in the world and teach them about God and what he wants. All Christians it would be a great thing if you came and help me teach all these people.
I am laughing more at the comments than at the joke.
