The Bible has to be read in light of the Gospels. No other way makes any sense at all.

There existed believers in the Old Testament period who were also only saved through faith in Him. They did not have the New Testament Gospels, however, the crimson thread of redemption runs throughout each of books of the major and minor prophets.

There are people who go to heaven without ever having read a lick of Scripture at all, and who have only the simplest comprehension of what's in them. My point was merely that IF we take Scripture seriously and IF we use it to try and understand what God wants of us, the logical place one must begin is with what God said and did when he himself came to earth in the flesh. It doesn't make sense to have four books about what God himself said and did in person and not use that as the core reference.
