You appear to assume that only those who agree with you are brothers - sisters in Christ - why is that?

Perhaps because they obeyed God, and asked Christ for forgiveness of sins, and thereby were offered the free gift of salvation ushering htem into the heavenly kingdom of God and His family

Well, now. It has become clear to me after reading this thread extensively, that I am going to have to modify my views on the matter of evolution versus direct creation.

I still believe that most of us have evolved. But it is just so obvious now that a lot of people are really pieces of work.

Brothers and sisters in Christ recognize each other because we are indwelled by the Spirit, we have a common mind and language.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. - I Corinthians 2:6-16

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. – Romans 8:9

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43

To God be the glory!
