Huh?

What I can never get about certain branches of Christianity is their need to proclaim their personal relationship with Jesus and that He is their Lord and Savior, but that they prefer the Old Testament's fire and brimstone or Paul's ego-stroking proclamations of Christians' specialness.

To me, the only relevant part of the Bible to one who sees Jesus as the Messiah are the Gospels. If Jesus is the Messiah, how can His teachings be subordinate to those of the Old Testament writers or to those of the Epistles? If there is conflict or contradiction between the them, how can Jesus' own words not take precedence?
