Scripture

The only context of Scripture... is Christ

Yes! Amen.
The only true 'reading' of the Bible is a Christological reading.
No reading is 'neutral' but only one is true.
This is probably one of the most important assertions - both for Christians and non-Chistians when it comes to Scripture.

This statement is absurdly false! I would say the Pentatauch and the rest of the Hebrew texts are the foundations of the Scripture, as Jesus is woven in, as a fufillment of those scriptures. You can't understand the Jesus portion without establising the context. Also let's look purely at size the "New Testament" is a thin, sliver of a text compared to everything that comes before it. You say a lot of stuff on you blog with absolutely no logic behind it;that's a problem.
