I’m hoping to post a few things before the fandom dies when the series ends. I loved SvtFoE, truly one of the best modern cartoons out there.
This is basically me redrawing the moment Star created the First-Born from memory.

36 why do you call it blasphemy when I say, ‘I am the Son of God’? After all, the Father set me apart and sent me into the world. – John 10:38 NLT John 10:30-36 NLT
The Jewish leaders just could not grasp the fact that Jesus was the Word incarnate, God in human flesh. Even though they knew that a Messiah was coming, this was not at all what they had expected. When Jesus truthfully claimed to be…

God Prevailed.
By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. – Hebrews 11:20 ESV
Isaac, the son of Abraham, would live a long life and father two twin sons, Jacob and Esau. He would also inherit the same promise from God given to his father, Abraham.
Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish…

'First-born' -- 5th October 2015.
As mentioned yesterday, sibling order has no effect on personality, however, it seems to have a small effect on intelligence, with the first-born being most intelligent and each following a tenth of a SD less on the IQ scale.* In a populations IQ-curve each SD is 15 IQ points, a tenth is only 1.5 points, seems unlikely for it to make noticeable impact?* Yet there is also a self-reported consistency: “Both the already-documented effect on objectively measured intelligence and the previously unidentified effect on self-reported intellect found in the present study were statistically significant, but small (at ∼10% of a SD), in terms of conventional effect sizes (Rohrer 2015).”* Does the slight IQ difference matter? Unclear, here are some hypothesis: "Zajonc and Markus (7) proposed that older siblings profit intellectually from being “teachers” to their younger siblings—a process that might also account for differences in intellectual self-concept and -estimation when children internalize their roles as “teachers” or “students.” Social comparison (34) among siblings during childhood and adolescence might be another process that specifically contributes to differences in self-estimated intelligence: Individuals may evaluate their own intellectual abilities in relation to their siblings—and this evaluation may lead to favorable outcomes for firstborn children because of their developmental advantage. This comparison could cause a stable bias in self-estimations of intelligence, with laterborn children slightly underestimating and firstborn children slightly overestimating their actual cognitive abilities. These ideas are compatible with a competitive niche partitioning theory within the family, where role differentiations and shared beliefs might lead to birth-order effects on self-rated intellect that go beyond objectively measured intelligence (11, 12). Another interesting issue supporting partially independent determinants of effects on IQ scores and intellect is the finding that increasing sibship size negatively influences only IQ scores, but not intellect (Table S2)."*
