I find it amusing that most people don't realize that all of the Bible
was translated from languages that had words for "gender neutral
group" that turned into brotherhood, etc.  So if your English Bible
says "brotherhood" it is, at best, a translators best attempt to
capture in a language a concept that doesn't express itself easily in
that language.  None of the Bible was written in English originally.

Look at the word "love" that is what both the greek works "eros" and
"agape" get translated into.  They are rather different things,
however.
