Where else does one find Christ?

You're joking, right? Ever read the New Testament? Not one single Christian found there ever found Jesus in Scripture. The Kakure Kirishitan are another example of a community that knew Jesus without Scripture. Scripture is not an indispensable element of Christianity unless it's the idol you worship.

Have you not read, ‘Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God?’ Is the Bible The Word of God? Before the New Testament was written down, exclaiming Jesus as Messiah and Savior and Lord, all the faithers had was the Old Testament, the Septuagint probably for most, except maybe guys like Saul who studied under Gamaliel. When the New Testament witness Gospels and letters were then available, the saved ‘cometh by hearing, and hearing by The Word of God.’

If you are a catholic, it is indeed ironic that you would try to use idol worship as a weapon against a Christian, seeing as how your religion has pagan principles of eating the godman and praying to idol statuary for intercession.
