I agree if by this you mean that one must believe that Jesus is the Christ to see it, or to turn this around, one cannot see if it if one does not believe that he is. There is no objective way to read Scripture.

Perhaps, but there are less/more subjective ways to read it. You can start by reading the Hebrew scriptures as they are, rather than reading them through "Jesus spectacles".

I'm amazed how frequently I've talked with Christians who have little if any knowledge of the Hebrew scriptures. Why even keep them in your bible then? You could believe in Jesus as divine savior simply on the testimony of the apostles and the resurrection, without even bringing the Hebrew scriptures into it.
