"Listening to an atheist comment on the Scriptures is always entertaining."

I am not an atheist.

"Christ is in ALL the Scriptures. He is the central point of the entire Bible."

That is the Christian spin. The Jews, who wrote a good chunk of it, disagree.

That is not 'Christian spin'. That is simply the truth. Forget about Christians and Jews. The Bible was written by God to mankind - the human race. The central point of God's message to man is salvation through Christ. This is pointed to via shadows and types in the OT and clearly revealed in the NT. Your refusal to accept this is simply blindness and error on your part. To accord some sort of mystical higher knowledge to the Jews as a people group (like comedian Lewis Black does in his HBO special "Screwed") is woefully misguided. The average person in the USA is Biblically illiterate, and this applies no less to the Jews than it does to any other racial or ethnic group.

"Christ is in ALL the Scriptures. He is the central point of the entire Bible." And you responded, That is the Christian spin. If you mean to say that is the 'spin' Christ put on the issue, then you are of course correct (though I wouldn't characterize His teaching as recorded in the NT as spin) since Christ referred repeatedly to the refernces of His coming found throughout the Bible of the Jews to whom He was speaking.
