Craig:
Hmm, interesting.  So you say we can do something that is not the will of the Father? I don't think so, plus in the verse quoted they tell Jesus that His earthly family wanted to speak to Him, he says anyone who does the will of the Father is His brother, that covers everyone because the Fathers will is always done.

We all fail to be as rightous as our Lord was, but nobody is against His will; unless of course you believe that man is free to do his own will; and I know you don't believe that.

So yes everyone is my brother, though as an unperfected child of God, I can say there are some I wish were not.

Craig, are you mixing up will and purpose?  Ray talked about the difference between them in Part A of his free will paper.

"To the question, "…who has resisted His will?" the answer is: EVERYONE! But when properly translated, to the question, "who has resisted His purpose?" the answer is: ABSOLUTELY NO ONE!

God has a will and God has a plan and purpose to reach that will. And no small part of reaching His desired will is to set men against His will, just as He did with Pharaoh. But no one has ever hindered God’s plan and purpose in reaching that goal and stated will. God’s will, will be done in His time."

Dennis Vogel:
Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Mar 10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

Php 1:18  What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; ...

2Th 3:15  Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

"There but for the grace of God, go I" - Not a bible quote but true.

Kat:

Craig, in the verse JFK posted about who our brothers/brethren are "whoever does the will of My Father," we can see in Luke that Jesus actually goes a little further in that comment to say "these who hear the word of God and DO IT."

Luke 8:21  But He answered and said to them, "My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it."

Matt 7 show those that "he who does the will of My Father," are the only ones to enter the kingdom. That narrows who it is that do/obey the Father's will down considerably.

Mat 7:21  "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
v. 22  Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
v. 23  And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

There is very much in doing/obeying the Father's will as Ray had much to say about in 'What is the Father's will?' http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3720.0.html 
Hebrews further explains it is those being prepared for salvation that are brothers or "brethren."

Heb 2:10  For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
v. 11  For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
v. 12  saying:
       "I will declare Your name to My brethren;
       In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

mercy, peace and love

ahhh yes who is my neighbor? who is my brother? who is my mother and father and sister? Spiritual posts from all of you on this subject.....I often call the ones that no one claims the poor...the homeless....the sick...the orphans and widows....the imprisoned....the mental ill....the weak....the ugly....the forgotten, the ones no one will associate with my friends and family.....I seek the humble the meek....these our Father seeks for he has does and will continue to do so for his Kingdom. The first shall be last, and the last will be first. I am willing to put myself in the lives of the like far and above the things of the flesh. I will boast all the more of my weakness' so that the power of Christ may rest on me. Thy will be done. I really enjoy reading all the input my family has shared on this topic. I am sure there is more to come....the Spirit will glorify the Father in our hearts will be made into his image. This we know to be the great parable and the truth we shall all be changed.
