The son of your or your biological sibling's godparents, brother of your godsister , etc.
A boy you grew up with, a good friend that is like a brother to you
friend 1: that's my brother. Friend 2: i thought you were an only child. Friend 1: yeah, only biologically. That's my godbrother.
To understand who the brothers and sisters of zeus are, you have to know about the birth of the olympians. This generation of gods did not become the principal deities of the greek pantheon by fate. The events surrounding their birth were a crucial part of the succession myth.
“man has held three views of his body,†writes c. S. Lewis in the “eros†chapter of his 1960 book the four loves. First there is that of those ascetic pagans who called it the prison or the “tomb†of the soul, and [others] to whom it was a “sack of dung,†food for worms, filthy, shameful, a source of nothing but temptation to bad men and humiliation to good ones. Then there are the neo-pagans, the nudists and the sufferers from dark gods, to whom the body is glorious. But thirdly we have the view which st. Francis expressed by calling his body “brother ass. â€.
Deuteronomy 13:6-10 “if your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or the wife you cherish, or your friend who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, ‘let us go and serve other gods’ (whom neither you nor your fathers have known, of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end), you shall not yield to him or listen to him; and your eye shall not pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him.

in christianity , god does not and cannot have a brother according to his own nature (that is, his divine naturethat which makes him god) because god is eternal and without beginning.
However, because the second person of the trinity, the son of god, became incarnate (i. E. , took on the nature of humanity) in the person of jesus of nazareth, he does have relatives. The virgin mary is called the mother of god because she gives birth to him as a man, even though the son of god is eternal.
Whoever loves god must also love his brother and sister. That’s not from me. It’s from the bible. Certainly, non-christians might feel no obligation to obey it. But if we’re christian, it’s not a suggestion. It’s not just a “nice†thing to think about. It’s a command! and there aren’t any exceptions to go with it. In case you’re wondering, or even if you’re not, that includes our “brothers and sisters†from another country. Again, jesus gives no exceptions.

As point number one stated, even christians still sin, but they do not remain in sin or keep on sinning as if nothing is wrong. I have heard many who have confessed to be christians live in ways that are contrary to the ways of god but they state they are “carnal christians. ’i can not help but be concerned for their salvation. John stated a very serious warning to those who think they are saved but feel no conviction of continuing in sin because that is not the description of a born again believer. First john 3:6-10 says, “no one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the son of god appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of god will continue to sin, because god’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of god. This is how we know who the children of god are and who the children of the devil are: anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of god; nor is anyone who does not love his brotherâ€. Also john writes, “those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: we know it by the spirit he gave us†(1 john 3:24).

Let's quote the passage from a more-modern english translation: there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “i love god,†and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love god whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves god must also love his brother. —1st john 4:18-21 ( esv ).
On this episode of life questions, the pastors answer the question, “why did god take my brother-in-law?†when a loved one is gone, at a time that feels much too soon, is it okay to be mad at god? also, is it okay for a person to *not* go back to church and still be a believer?.
Jess l. Christensen, institute of religion director at utah state university, logan, utah. On first hearing, the doctrine that lucifer and our lord, jesus christ, are brothers may seem surprising to some—especially to those unacquainted with latter-day revelations. But both the scriptures and the prophets affirm that jesus christ and lucifer are indeed offspring of our heavenly father and, therefore, spirit brothers. Jesus christ was with the father from the beginning. Lucifer, too, was an angel “who was in authority in the presence of god,†a “son of the morning. †(see isa. 14:12 ; d&c 76:25–27. ) both jesus and lucifer were strong leaders with great knowledge and influence.
But as the firstborn of the father, jesus was lucifer’s older brother. (see col. 1:15 ; d&c 93:21. ).
There’s a great need in the world for more genuine, unselfish affection, consideration, and care for others. Could it be that affection among people grows stronger and more lasting when we recognize that we all belong to god? feeling close to god makes us think of others as sisters and brothers. This is a brotherhood and sisterhood that transcends blood relations, race, age, or nationality.
You may have heard someone called a “sister in christ†or a “brother in christ. †these two terms could be loosely translated as “fellow believer,†but the words have meaning beyond that. A sister or brother in christ is who we are as god's offspring.
Paul, called by the will of god to be an apostle of christ jesus, and our brother sosthenes, to the church of god that is in corinth, to those sanctified in christ jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our lord jesus christ, both their lord and ours: grace to you and peace from god our father and the lord jesus christ. I give thanks to my god always for you because of the grace of god that was given you in christ jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—.
Brother, brother, what have you done? you have gone up the stairs to be god’s son. Your voice still echoes in my heart your smile drives away macabre thoughts. Brother, brother, why did you take leave when evil saw you as too naive; isn’t it true that death is an inevitable end, and that you can’t escape the strange trajectory.
Treasury of scripture if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, james 2:5 hearken, my beloved brethren, hath not god chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? job 31:16-21 if i have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; ….
The practice of the presence of god is a collection of conversations and letters with brother lawrence. This christian classic has impacted countless generations of christians as they have been drawn in by the message of peace, joy and hope brought by the awareness of god’s presence in the midst of everyday life.
When we help brothers and sisters with a correct motive, fellowship with them out of love and patiently guide them, some of them can understand god’s will and come out of their negative state. But we all have met with these kinds of situations: though we have helped and supported some brothers and sisters several times, there is no shift in their state and they still remain the same; some clearly know god’s words and understand how to practice in conformity with god’s will, but they still act willfully on their own initiative, go against god’s teachings and rely on satanic disposition in what they do. When faced with such situations, what can we do to be responsible for their lives? i read the following in the bible, “open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful†(proverbs 27:5–6). We can understand from these verses that when we see the problems or shortcomings of brothers and sisters, we should dare to point them out face to face to help them, not hiding these things in our hearts. Even if what we say is unpleasant to listen to and makes them temporarily uncomfortable, it is true love and help for them. I have heard these words from a preacher, “suppose there is a brother or sister who does not pursue the truth, and is not going the right way. What should you do? you must help this person. This help includes pruning them and dealing with them. It includes censure and criticism. This is the way to help. All of this is love. Is it necessary to coax them along or use a consulting tone? not necessarily. If there is a need for pruning and dealing with them, do it. Expose what should be exposed. … this is the duty that you should fulfill†(“how one must experience god’s work in order to achieve salvation and be perfected†in sermons and fellowship on entry into life (vi)). It can be seen from this that helping with love needn’t be speaking tactfully and gently; criticizing and dealing with brothers and sisters according to their problems and shortcomings to make them know their corruptions and shortcomings and understand the truth is also love for them.
As christians, we are called to minister to the lost and to our fellow christian brothers and sisters. It seems like in today's society, it is easier to minster to the lost than it is to minister to a fallen brother or sister in the church. We must be careful not to step into the flesh and judge our brothers and sisters when they have a moment of weakness. When we use our carnal mind to comprehend what this person has done, we begin to judge them according to the world's standards and not by god's. Be very careful if you find yourself in this situation because the word of god is very clear about judging others.
In the first verses of the epistle of james, as at the jerusalem council, james skips the long-winded greetings and blessings and cuts straight to the point. “consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds…†( james 1:2 ). The heart of a pastor beats in his words as he exhorts his people to trust god regardless of their circumstances, to be faithful and pure, and to humbly submit to god. The church at jerusalem had experienced such intense persecution that most believers had fled to other cities. In this letter to those “scattered among the nations,†james comforts those who are suffering with an eternal perspective. “you too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the lord is near†( james 5:8 ).
Jesus taught us to “bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you†(luke 6:28). If this is true with regard to our relationship to our enemies, how much more of our relationship to an offending brother or sister? when someone does something to hurt us, we should pray that god would grant him repentance, give him the same grace we need, and make him fruitful. It is a mark of humility when we do so.
1 john 4:20, niv : whoever claims to love god yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love god, whom they have not seen. 1 john 4:20, esv : if anyone says, “i love god,†and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love god whom he has not seen.
By jon watkins this also applies to women who are sister’s in christ! 2nd thessalonians 3:6 “now we command you, brethren, in the name of our lord jesus christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, (teach things contrary to the word of god) and not after the tradition (the true gospel ) which he received of us. â€.
By editor in chief “whoever claims to love god yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love god, whom they have not seen. â€.
A sister is god’s way of proving he doesn’t want us to walk alone. Unknown god made us sisters. Our hearts made us friends. Unknown whoever claims to love god yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love god, whom they have not seen. 1 john 4:20.
Dear reader, i ask you to keep my brother jason in your prayers. He is my only sibling in the flesh and i love him dearly. He is not born again and right now he is giving up all hope on life. He is angry at god and has a severe hatred of christianity. Recently, he started following a former pastor on facebook, a pastor who teaches that the bible is a hoax and jesus christ never existed.
The universal principle of brotherly love is revealed in several books of the new testament. It conveys the kind of love expressed towards other people as a fellow-man. Brotherly affection can mean the cozy feeling of belongingness. It presents a calm atmosphere of serenity like kinship or friendship. Yet, in the biblical context, it is a love seeking the best interest of fellow believers and counting them as more significant than oneself (philippians 2:3). Love is given to flawed, sinful people with deeds of sacrifices and service. We know this because we know of a love that was given to us (1 john 4:19). And every believer can only love because they’ve received love. With this, love is not about that we have loved god but that he loved us. Our ability to show love is due to the love shown to us.
Andy van der bijl, now called brother andrew, was born in the netherlands during 1928. His family included eight people, with andy being the 3rd oldest. They grew up quite poor, living in the worst conditions of their village in witte. Every sunday, the family would go to church, during which brother andrew would go on his adventures as a child. He did not care for the church as a child, and the love of god that his parents had did not greatly impact him as a child.
“16 this is how we know what love is: jesus christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 if anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of god be in that person? 18 dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. †– 1 john 3:16-18.
Philemon 1:4-7 4 i always thank my god as i remember you in my prayers, 5 because i hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the lord jesus. 6 i pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of christ. 7 your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the lord’s people.
I heard someone the other day say, what i've heard other people say, and that is that the bible says, "brother" and bible translators are wrong. They are in fact adding to god's word when they say "brother and sister. " is that accurate? since the comment was made within the context of bible translation, we understand the word "bible" to be the greek new testament, not the english, because the person was saying the translators are adding to god's word by translating "brother and sister. ".
Many moms talk to me about how their kids fight and don’t get along. People will tell them that’s just the way it is and they should accept it. No! my guide through life is not what society tells me is ok, but what god says is ok. And he says fighting with our brothers and sisters is wrong.
No. Can a person marry his mom’s god daughter’s sister? “god daughter†is a religious relationship, not a legal relationship, at least in the us.

A brother or a sister is not vnder bondage in such cases: but god hath called vs to peace. - king james version (1611) - view 1611 bible scan yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such {cases,} but god has called us to peace.
In the gospels, we read how jesus gives a new definition of family membership. He is told that his mother and brothers are seeking him. They are his “real†family members, but jesus answers: “who are my mother and my brothers? […] whoever does the will of god, he is my brother and sister and mother†(mark 3:32-35).
Hate requires a lot of thought and energy, remember hate and god cannot co-exist in your life. Hatred is designed to include the whole state of mind where there is no love for the brethren or sister present. Which means you are still in darkness and have never came out of darkness (1 john 2:11).
Within the roman catholic church, the titles sister and mugs for brother what present should i get my brother what to gift your brother are given to members of religious communities. Members take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and devote their lives to god. Contemplative religious sisters and brothers devote themselves entirely to private prayer and the celebration of the mass.
You can’t love god & hate your brother or sister ( brother or sister in christ), it’s a manifest contradiction. Today we’ll find out why it’s impossible for one to claim to love god yet hate his brother. Last week, we talked about the nature and character of the love of god. And we agreed that the love of god was a holy love. We talked about its meaning, god’s love is like no other, it’s different because god is holy, he is in a category of himself. We also said that god’s love was morally pure because it is grounded in his purity, justice and righteous nature. And we went on to talk about how the love of god manifests itself in believers in christ. Today we’ll wrap up chapter 4 and zero in on verses 19-21.
Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer — jesus christ commanded his followers to love each other as he has loved them. Are you a follower of jesus christ? are you obeying these commands? if you are obeying these commands, your joy will overflow. If you are not obeying these commands, you may be guilty before god of being a murderer.
Your godparents (godmother and godfather) are family friends or relatives who your parents picked at your baptism to act as your godparents.

I married my step-brother, but we were not raised in the same household and i am unsure if this is sin in god's eyes or if our marriage is biblically lawful. Can a step-sister and step-brother marry according to leviticus 18:11?.
Going straight into v. 12, john recalls a story that the original readers, and us, are probably very familiar with. He brings up the story of cain and abel. If you’re not in fact familiar with cain and abel, it’s a story of two brothersâ â who offer their sacrifices to god. God likes the sacrifices of abel but not cain, and cain’s jealously leads him to murder abel. This story leads perfectly into the statement that john makes in v. 15, and equates anyone who hates their brother and sister with cain, a murderer.
Shortly before israel occupied canaan. After god created adam and eve, they had sons and daughters [gen 5:4]. In order for their children to marry and reproduce, it was necessary for brothers to marry their sisters. People have often asked, “where did cain get his wife?â€Â the answer is simple, “he married his sister. â€there wasn’t anyone else for him to marry.

How did miriam die? that’s a question that shall remained unanswered, but it was likely due to old age. Not much is said about miriam after her encounter with god, but we are told when and where she died.

Alberto e.

Last week my only brother unexpectedly went to be with the lord. This has obviously been a shock to the family as we have tried to make sense of it all. Last friday was the memorial and funeral services, which i had the opportunity to share some of my thoughts about scott and the effects on the family. This will be very personal, but here is my eulogy for my brother as it may help others that have lost loved ones.
Stockrocket/istock/getty images a brother is more than just another family member -- siblings have the opportunity to influence the lives of one another, to act as positive role models and to become a support system for one another in times of need. The influence from a good brother affects a younger sibling's social and emotional development and also provides a guideline for how to act at school and with friends, according to the research from applied family studies professor laurie kramer at the university of illinois.

Jesus was deeply sensitive to the concerns of family life. He did not come and live in isolation. He was born and grew up within the framework of a family he loved: mary, joseph, his brothers and sisters. He revealed this love in the hour of his greatest need when at his crucifixion, he looked down from the stake to commit his mother into the care of his beloved disciple, john.
The first love is called “phileo†love and that is the love that the city of philadelphia was named after…brotherly love. This type of love is that friends have for one another. This type of love can also exist between brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and other family members but it is most frequently associated with a deep, abiding friendship…a love that is shared between the best of friends, much like that of king david and jonathan, king saul’s son. It is, or at least should be, the type of love that exists between church members. It is a love that is not passionate like that between a husband and a wife. After jesus resurrection he came to the disciples and he asked peter, if he loved him. The word jesus used about whether peter loved him was “agapao†but peter must have been caught off guard and said “yes lord, you know that i love you†(john 21:15) but the word peter used was the greek “phileo†which is the brotherly love. Peter didn’t get it. Jesus was using the strongest of all types of love, agape.
I hated my brother. He teased and tormented me relentlessly. I was only ten. My hatred buried itself deep within me, like a worm eating holes in my childlike heart. Maybe it began with typical sibling rivalry — a two-year-old boy dumping his new baby sister out of her bassinet, expressing displeasure over her nervy intrusion. I realize now that he had legitimate emotional concerns of his own. Nevertheless, his unacceptable actions toward me persisted for years. Unchecked, malice crept into his heart like a weasel into a hen house. I became the target of his aggression.
Fr. William saunders is there any difference between a nun and a sister? what about a monk are they priests or brothers? i have always been confused by these terms. These terms are indeed confusing, because they are often used interchangeably even though they have technical differences. First, let's look at the difference between nuns and sisters. A nun is a woman who belongs to a religious order and takes the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Their vows are publicly accepted by superiors in the name of the church and solemn. In general, solemn vows are professed by members of religious orders after a period of temporary, simple vows. When bound by solemn vows, a woman is a nun but is commonly called "sister" (although some orders use another formal title, like "dame" or "mother"); when bound by simple vows, a woman is a sister, not a nun, and thereby called "sister. " nuns recite the liturgy of the hours or divine office in common, and engage in some work to help support themselves.
