I'm not claiming that the NT does not say you should try and be nice to each other. However I would NEVER claim that the Bible (the original post) or "The Greek Scriptures" (clarified post) did not propose violence on others (which Caliann did). There's not much of it in the NT but it IS there in small parts.
