There is no Christ outside scripture ..... "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us".
I disagree wholeheartedly. Jesus does not exist ‘because of’ scripture. It’s the other way around. Scripture exists ‘because of’ Jesus. “Word" in this instance is a translation of the Greek λόγος (logos), and is widely interpreted as referring to Jesus, as indicated in other verses later in the same chapter. “And Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us.”

Wrong. Some people clearly worship a book...which ‘is’ idolatry. And some people worship Jesus. And those who worship a book castigate those who worship Jesus because they worship Jesus instead of worshipping a book.
