So you think violence and Christianity are incompatible, do you?

Snipping isolated verses out of context does not provide the meaning of the Bible. One has to read the New Testament as a whole to understand what it is trying to convey.

Yet there are many Christians who demand that Bible should be taken to the letter and that it is not open for interpretations...

Pradera
Many? Very few, I believe. Some forgotten sects in remote lands like middle-US, perhaps ;) It's Jehova's Witness that demand direct and litterary reading of Bible,

Christians.

So what exactly makes Jehovah's Witnesses not Christians? Or to put it another way, what defines whether a specific church is a Christian church?
