Christians nominally use the same bible to justify their faith, but there is no such thing as an uninterpreted text, and a lot of what determines interpretation of the text comes from outside the text. (With all deference to Derrida, whom I believe was right in saying, "Il n'y a pas de hors-texte.")

Actually theres no guarantee they would use the same Bible, theres many different versions that could be interpreted in any number of different ways. Then again I suppose they wouldn't be part of mainstream Christianity at the point they're not using the more widely used version. Don't most use the King James version?
