what does brotherhood mean ?

Question

For religon I have to write what brotherhood means to me but I don't even know what brotherhood means. Please help me fast.

Answer 1

In the New Testament, it can generally be considered the church.

Numerous times, New Testament writers address their letters to "brothers." See the first few verses of Galatians, Colossians and James.

In 1Peter 2:17 the KJV uses "brotherhood" to translate the Greek word adelphotēs. This word is defined as "brotherhood, fellowship of believers (men and women)"

-- The same source, cited in source section, defines "adelphos," which is commonly translated "brother" as "brother, fellow countryman, neighbor (often inclusive in gender); by extension a fellow believer in the family of faith; in the plural “brothers” regularly refers to men and women."

Notice that these are related words and both are inclusive of male and female. For this reason, many modern translations have begun to render them in comparable gender inclusive English terms... So it is NOT as someone stated "a group of MALES..."

Answer 2

One of the reasons I love to be on Y!A is I have talked to, answered questions, & have had my question answered by my brother and sisters from around the world. Yes I have the association of my brothers and sisters in my area, but Y!A makes me feel a worldwide brotherhood. Brothers/sisters from England, France, Germany,Mexico, Canada, Russia, and many more that I can't recall right now. Besides all my friends right here in the states. It reminds me that one day soon every person on earth will be part of a worldwide brotherhood worshiping Jehovah in spirit and truth. No more will the human family die or be sick, old age will just be older, our bodies won't grow old. All of our loved ones that have died will be resurrected, and there will be no more death. It will not matter where one is on this earth you will be among friends. That's a worldwide brotherhood to me. The scriptures call it paradise and as the Lord's prayer says, let your Kingdom come to earth as it is in heaven.

Answer 3

A brotherhood is a group of people with common beliefs and goals, such as a christian brotherhood is a group of people who are christians bound by their beliefs and goals to one another, also a brotherhood is usually all males, a sisterhood is usually all females. Since your avatar is female i would guess that your teacher or whoever it is would mean to make the brother/sisterhood thing relative to your gender.So for you, what would a brother/sisterhood be to you, what beliefs and goals would people need to be a part of it, you know that kinda stuff.

Answer 4

The suffix "hood" denotes a group or organization. brotherhood, therefore is a group of men who have something in common or are organized with common goals.

Answer 5

Probably refers to Philadelphia, one of the seven churches addressed in Revelation.

Answer 6

For a religion? It probably means a close association of the girly men. (Just a guess {:~)

Answer 7

The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man
are foundational teachings of Freemasonry.
Monotheism is the sole dogma of Freemasonry. Belief in one God is required of every initiate, but his conception of the Supreme Being is left to his own interpretation. Freemasonry is not concerned with theological distinctions. This is the basis of our universality.

Spiritualism has several main principles that its followers abide by. These can vary in number from seven to nine depending on their source.
1. The Fatherhood of God: God is infinite and permeates everything. He has infinite love, He is perfect, and people are a part of God.
2. The Brotherhood of Man: Service to other people is a way to improve one's spirit. A person should not do good things for other people just to improve themselves; he or she should do good out of pure unselfishness and love for other people and God. Bringing about "economic security, peace, charity, and culture" to other people are great ways to enhance one's own spirit and those of others.
3. Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels: The essence of human beings is their spirit, and this makes the spirits of the departed able to communicate with people. The subconscious is the spirit, and so most people are not aware when a dead spirit is guiding them. However, those people with a close link between the conscious and unconscious (mediums) are aware of these spirit guides. This is how Spiritualists know the soul is immortal, and that people stay essentially the same when they die.
4. Continuos Existence of the Human Soul: The soul exists for eternity, and spiritualism proves this by communicating with those who visit from the spirit world. People should not live their lives with merely the material world in mind; they should live in terms of their eternal life. The soul continually progresses through different planes of existence to serve and become closer to God.
5. Personal Responsibility: People are responsible for their own thoughts and actions. People have to atone for evil acts and negative thoughts, and continually strive to lead a moral life.
6. Compensation and Retribution for all Good and Evil Deeds Done on Earth: This principle can be summed up in the cliche "what goes around comes around." All the evil a person does will lead to painful struggles in either this life or the spirit world, and all the good they do will lead to happiness and spiritual advancement.
7. Eternal Progress Open to Every Soul: There is always progress to be made, and what one must accomplish never ends. Primitive instincts trap people in the material world, and so people must struggle against these to reach a higher spiritual consciousness.

Other Spritualist Ideas:
1. Vibration: Everything and everyone in the universe vibrates. Turmoil and negative feelings cause low (slow) vibration, and happiness and love cause high (fast) vibration. You can sense the vibrations in a room, object or person. God has the highest vibration of all. Mediums are able to communicate with the spirit world because they can raise their vibration high enough to contact it. In this way, mediums are able to give messages from departed spirits to their living relatives and friends.
2. Healing: Spiritual healing is related to the concept of vibration. The healer raises his or her vibration to allow positive healing energy to course through them. Positive thoughts and actions create positive energy throughout the world, and the healer draws on this. The healer acts as a channel for healers from the spirit world. A healer can heal by working on someone's aura who is with them, or heal someone far away through meditation. According to Spiritualists, spiritual healing can alleviate physical and emotional problems.
3. Psychics and Predicting the Future: Spirits in the spirit world can see more variables in a person's life, and so can give accurate predictions on what is most likely to going to happen to that person in the future. Spiritualists are quick to say that psychics do not tell what is definitely going to happen, just what is most likely to happen.
4. New Age Connection: Spiritualism has contributed significantly to the more generalized new age movement. The New Age movement is a vague term for an eclectic group of ideas that derive from Eastern religious traditions, Western religious traditions, and Paganism. In general, New Agers believe spirituality is very individual and that all people are divine. Some New Agers believe even the trees and earth are divine, and others believe in reincarnation. The way the New Age movement has derived itself from spiritualism is in some of its methods of developing spirituality. Many New Agers believe in spiritual healing, channelling, ESP, dream interpretation, and many other psychic and supernatural phenomena as ways of developing spirituality by contacting spirits or getting in touch with one's past lives. These are all methods spiritualists use to communicate with the spirit world. Spiritualism is often referred to as a new age.
