Actually, there are a few that say:

  1. The OT was written only for the Jews. Ditto the Gospels, the Letter to the Hebrews, etc.
  2. There are also quite a few sola scriptura types who say that God wanted to make the Jews jealous hence the incarnation or that the baptism of Gentiles was an afterthought by God (afterthought -- more attempts to an anthropometric deity)
  3. And of course, the Arians, Jehovah's Witnesses, Unitarians etc. use sola scriptura to prove their point

< Many consider Acts and Epistles to be the "New Testament". The Gospels, having been written for the Jews they say, are considered part of the "Old Testament".

That is a Pauline innovation. I would be curious to see some Patristic commentaries on the subject of Paul's idea that God wanted to make Jews jealous and punished them by favoring the Gentiles (which, for a Jew St. Paul claimed to be is utterly unJewish!).
