Jehovah’s Witnesses appeal to the Bible (or at least their version and interpretation of it) to deny and reject the deity of Jesus Christ and the triunity God. Christian Scientists and Mormons appeal to the Bible and Jesus Christ (as well as their own additional sources) to promote their own distinctive denials of God’s transcendence (wholly and holy otherness). Unless we are willing to empty the category Christian of all recognizable meaning, we will have to embrace the importance of beliefs no matter how intolerant or exclusive that may seem.
