It is outrageous. Apparently he gave credence to this OUTRAGEOUS thought, and posted it.

To me his post was this : pretty outrageous thought - that's all. It wasn't judgmental or legalistic. In his own words it was a pretty outrageous thought!
That's why I said I get his humor.

PP - you are a dear.
Stop, think back about a couple of the funny, outrageous threads you have started that were completely in humor.
Why does it always have to be a us/them issue?

I am neither an us or a them. I am stuck out in the middle somewhere. But even I can see the hypocrisy involved here.

Really?
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight and be filled with the Holy Ghost ( Acts 9:17).
So sorry I don't have time to respond to the rest of your post!

We do not use the trem in our church much..we try not to..old habits are hard to break.
Our newer guests feeling uncomfortable with it..or anyone feeling out of place by everyone being called bro or sis and them not being addressed as bro or sis.
Just trying to sensitive to new folks.
Whatever works in your church.
Our pastor is also addressed, as he asked to be, by Pastor "first name"
Some here might consider that disrespectful, but I assure our pastor is respected and loved.
If it is disrespectful..then please tell me Paul's last name

Amen to the spirit embodied above.
non-specific titles are perfectly appropriate as a substitute for a proper name and do bear witness of the premise of our shared association --one family in heavean and earth.
When the title gets affixed to a proper name it has now become a basis for segregation rather than unity.
If I use my professional license initials (in my case they are suffixed), I am distinguishing myself from those who can not, in honesty, include them.
Dr. or Prof. are two other very common differentiators.
If we apply the title of Brother or Sister as an antecedent and then continue to afix it to a given or proper name, we are inherently acknowledging a position of distinction that one must acknowledge membership in or not membership in.
How does that edify?
"HI, FELLOW WITHIN PERSON, ISN"T IT GREAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE WITHIN [and all these other folks can try and figure out if they are WITHOUT].
Oh in case any of you were wondering....this is only my opinion.

no doubt, you have correctly identified the one case where such a construction is recorded in the KJV of the bible.
shall someone else list the 50-100 times it is not and then ask the question, why was such a term of respect and familial identification left out of the inspiration?

"Sister" is used frequently too in Song of Songs.
