It talks about if you have something against your brother and you come to the alter, leave and go attend to your business with your brother, then return to the alter?? I just can't find it though?? Can anyone help?

Matthew 5:22-24\n22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. \n23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; \n24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Matthew 7:3-5 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."\n\nSadly, I notice too many people abuse this scripture to discredit equal faults in each other, as a defense mechanism, but without correcting either problem. They defend by attacking, which puts both people at odds. (See also scriptures about how a wise man accepts rebuke. And if your neighbor sues you for your overcoat you hand over everything publicly to reveal the injustice.)  \n\nThe point is not to mutually discredit so that both wrongs go uncorrected, but to use the opportunity for self-correction and mutual reconciliation. Many people don't see their own faults until it is mirrored in someone else, so we can use this "projection" process to identify and correct faults on both sides at once.\n\nSee also\nJames 5:16 about confessing our faults to one another and praying for one another that we may be healed\n\nMatthew 18:15-20 about redressing grievances to gain back our brother, by reconciling among witnesses to establish common truth, and restoring the relationship in true spiritual agreement\n\nJudge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. (John 7:24)\n\nThe point of not judging people unfairly is to judge circumstances equally, not one person more than the other, in order to correct the problems on both sides.

Being that I have a sister that does the EXACT same thing I can honestly answer "yes" you/me have been used.  All the things you've explained are very familiar sounding.  The problem lies in them being spoiled rotten and getting everything given and done for them.  Do what I did and put your foot down, enough is enough eventually he'll realize what is going on and the shoe will be on the other foot.  It got to the point where my sister was monopolizing all of my time and resources that my own family was going without, and that wasn't happening anymore.  It's called tough love and unfortunately it has to be done.  Good luck and I'll be thinking of you because I know how painful it's going to be.  But to answer your question...yes of course your brother loves you.

I would only say something if you really feel the need to stand up for your brother, I would do it with them both standing right there so that way there is no he said she said crap going on between them talking about you. I would only do that under extreme cercumstances though. It matters how close you are over all to your brother, I mean if you can talk to him about anything i would definitally say something to him in private, something like dude is it just me or do you seem unhappy here lately, not really blameing her but if it is because of her he will come out and say so, if he asks you what you think i would go ahead and tell him but in the long and short of it if she makes him eat dog food on the floor every night for dinner and he still loves her, support him in his pick for a future wife. You might not like how she treats him over all but it looks like he does, maybe you havent gotten to know her well enough yet, Or maybe he hasnt, who knows. But i would definitally deal with this in a tender way, maybe your mom or dad can say something to him, or you can go to them and voice your concerns, they could probably get away with saying something to him easier then you could. I dont know ive never really been in that situation but i can see it going bad easily if its not delt with care :) I hope that helps

My brother just returned, a few months ago. I stayed in touch with his girlfriend, by email and the occasional phone call, they live together in another state. You may want to contact the chaplain for his unit and see if a group is available. Also you could talk to some of the other significant others and bring up a weekly or monthly meeting, just to pass on news and share some time. I spoke to my brother about once a week while he was there by webcam and instant messenger. My brother was in Al Asad, it was bad but we were all able to see him. When his kids were here for a visit, I even had the webcam on them and he was able to see and chat with them, it was really great, considering. \n\nGood luck, fcabre@yahoo.com

This is the first time I've ever heard this version of the joke. I don't know what this is right here, but it makes absolutely no sense. \n\nThere were three guys walking down the street and ran acroos this farm house. The lady said they could stay in the house and have breakfast in the morning but if not they had to stay in the barn. \n\nWHY would they have to stay in the barn?? What were the guys suppose to do in order to stay in the house???\n\nI cannot express this enough; when posting a joke, write it correctly.

how about this option, talk to your brother about your intent and let him know..."look, if this guy turns out to be a jerk and hurts my feelings and is cruel to me, I'll let you know ASAP" and make him promise to leave him alone until you give him the word.

This probably sounds strange, but try searching on MySpace.  I found my estranged brothers through that site.

Nice question.\n\nThe answer is.\n\nIf I was to ask your brother which road would he tell me to take to get to the good village. \n\nThe good twin would point to the road that leads to the bad village because that is where the bad twin would point. \n\nThe bad twin would point to the road that leads to the bad village because the good twin would point to the road that leads to the good village. \n\nSo you would take the opposite road that you were shown.

I would let your brother deal with her since you don't want her to come between you two.  That could potentially happen if you confront her directly and your brother picks her side.  Talk to him about what he is going to do about his wretched wife.  In answer to your other question people do sometimes change for the worse but usually they were bad to begin with and just hid it until they were comfortably ensconced.

Hey kewlchic1...\n\n I've just read the short story and I enjoyed reading about the miracles of brother Gómez in the city of Lima.\n The scorpion alluded in the title is mentioned in the last miracle of the story. One day, brother Gómez is visited by a peddler who, knowing of the brother's miraculous reputation, hopes to be granted the miracle of having loads of money. Brother Gómez grants him the miracle by transforming a scorpion in his cell into a scorpion shaped jewel. The peddler uses it to pay his debts and make money. At the end, he returns the jewel to brother Gómez and he brings it to life again.\n\nHope this helps!

What were they thinking? You have a brother. How cool is that? What to do from here? I would ask your sisters why they didn't tell you. Don't be too quick to be pissed yet. There may be a reason. I can't think of any but give them a chance. Have they been good sisters in the past or have they always left you out? Take your time and get your ducks in a row. It would be great to find out he is a real nice guy that anyone would love to have as a brother. You don't have to hurry or rush to judgment. I sure hope things work out. Good Luck.

My relationship with my sister! \n\nFor the past 4 years my sister has been "self-destructing". My parents and I have exhausted all efforts financially and more importantly, mentally. You can only do so much for someone that you love, and if they don't want to help themselves and don't see your efforts and love in trying to help them, then what do you do?! So now we are trying the "tough love" tactic and I am sad and scared she don't realize all that we have done and are trying to do for her. She is pissed off at us! I just hope we are doing the right thing!\n\nWow! this was a personal question! But you know what? I feel somewhat at ease answering this question. Thanks! :)

OK here is a love triangle for you this is great. My brother dated his girl for about two years, while i had my own boyfriend. we dated for about a year and a half. So after double dating and treating my brothers girlfriend like a sister she dumps my brother. Not too long after that my boyfriend broke up with me. About a week later i saw my brothers ex and my ex holding hands at school. Now my ex wants me back lol I'm getting back with him. I know it sounds nasty and he broke my heart, but you gotta listen to your heart do what your heart and soul tell you to do. you know you got it girl...

i'm not that familiar with the story, except that it is about witch hunting in a town. this quote, whoever says it, is someone begging Thomas not to get involved in witch craft. is it his wife? that would make sense, that she's begging her husband not to get in it because the town (who was full of people paranoid about witch craft) would charge them with the crime.
