1 Corinthians 15:41 states "one star differs from another star in glory". What do you think the author meant by that?

You should really use the whole quote. Doing otherwise is kind of sneaky.
The whole quote according to the King James version is
And when you put it in CONTEXT like you are supposed to do here is what you get:
I get that he's talking about two dualities of things...both physical and spiritual. So what say you? What's your opinion on the entire piece and not just one little itty bit half a sentence?

"Sneaky"? Do you think I have a nefarious agenda to trick you? I'm sorry, I didn't think about that. The website I got it from really didn't seem to care about the whole context, just about "proving" the bible ("look, it knows the stars are different, and you'll find that's true if you look at their light spectrums")

It sounds something like, "things have multiple aspects, and there are different kinds of beauty" or "things have multiple aspects, and all beautiful things are beautiful for different reasons.

I'll keep it simple because I just aint that smart.

The hand and the foot differ in their glory. They both are just as important. For the Hand to tell the foot it is dammed is foolish.

But I also agree with the "G". It did seem to be a little sneeky ... grasshopper

Could someone please tell me what they mean by "sneaky"? I wasn't trying to trick anyone. I just didn't think to look up the rest of it. sheesh.

Ahh ok. I can understand that. If you want to understand anything of the bible or want to ask questions about a quote you need to first read the entire sentence and the paragraph its in. That will help. I thought you might be a weirdo trying to prove something. I see you were just questioning. A little due diligance sir! No lazy lazy!

To use the reference to stars to "prove" the "trueness" of the Bible is a bit disingenious because the Biblical account of stars is one of its most patently false records. Indeed, one star differs from the other in glory (shining) and that is obvious to the naked eye.

But what the Bible says is that stars are teensy weensy lights embedded in the sky ceiling, above which are waters. If you shake the pillars that hold the sky ceiling, the stars "fall to the land." The Pleides ("Seven Sisters") are lights in the candleabra that Jesus holds in his hand, now that he has gone up to the sky, where God is.

Stars tell accurate info about the birth of kings.

Right.

When one line is thrown out it is hard for me to comment. Posts don’t show emotions so it was me misunderstanding you. Post take the emotions and meaning of the reader not the sender, that’s why it is important to be mannerly and clear as ya can at the time of the post. Unless the post is for you, then be rude and blunt as ya want.

Like for me, if you said something like:

I was reading some passages that relate to Mark 58: 170-170.625 then I take it as you meant it.

It was me that misunderstood you also. once you cleared it up, I understood.
