So not all Scripture is equal in your eyes? Only the red words matter to you, in the end.

So now, it's not just WHAT scriptures say, it's where they are located that matter to you. Is that what you are saying?

Just what exactly do you do with the Bible after John?

They ignore it when they do not like what it says ...so much for the inspired infallible word of God

Not in the least. There exists a hierarchy within Scripture that dictates how they relate to and support each other.

The Old Testament was a preparation for the Gospel. It was a pedagogy and a prophecy of things to come. It prophesied and presaged the work of liberation from sin which would be fulfilled in Christ.

The letters of Paul were an epilogue of the Gospels executed at the command of of Jesus to spread the Gospels. When used to communicate the message of the Gospels and to explain the Gospels they have significant meaning and importance. When used and interpreted in the absence of the Gospels they are worse than useless, they are harmful.

Everything after John is used for the purpose it was intended, nothing more.

For them, the next book after John is James...
