lol well it says to love your enemy as yourself. so that would cover that. lol mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
you dont have to like what your brother does or what ever it is that makes you want to get rid of him. you have to love him though for who he is. i love everyone just not the things some people do.

Throughout time siblings have not gotten along.
From the beginning, Cain and Abel did not get along. Cain killed Abel over this.
Esau and Jacob did not get along. There are many things that these twins did to one another.
Jesus Christs own brothers did not believe in him until after his death and resurection.
So, please understand that it is very common to not get along with one another, but never has any good come out of this situation.
Try constantly and consistantly to Love your siblings and you will be doing as God asks of you. This is more important than anything else, including how annoying siblings can be, remember we are also a sibling and can be just as annoying from their point of view.

The Bible does not say to like your siblings, it says in 1 John 1:10-11
10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.
11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

John 1:10-11
Is referring to your brothers in Christ not your blood brother. The Bible does not say that you have to like your siblings. However, it does say that we need to love one another as Jesus loved us.

I have a few siblings I wouldn't mind giving away...but The Bible does say "love your neighbor as yourself" and I do believe that your siblings are considered your "neighbors". Unfortunately... :-)

You can pick your friends but you can not pick your relatives. I have a niece that I really do not like much. However, your brother is blood, you do not have to like his lifestyle, his demeanor, his beliefs, however, he is your brother and you should respect him as that. I do not know how old you are, but you need to have a heart to heart with him and tell him how you feel. Try to work things out, life is short and tomorrow he may not be here, then it will be to late , believe me, when a loved one dies( although you may think you don't love him) , you will realize how much he meant to you and miss him with all your heart for the rest of your life.

The Golden Rule. You must do to others as you would have others do to you. However you are right it never says you have to like your siblings.

Where in the Bible does it say you have to stop at a stop sign? .... JUST DO IT
[You can still give him away.... just like him while you're doing it!]
