Is belief in Jesus compulsory?

 

Is belief in Jesus compulsory?
- generally Christians argue that one has to believe in Jesus to attain salvation.
However if we read through the Bible espeically the Old Testament, this thought doesn’t seem to exist.
First of all, the name Jesus isn’t mentioned for one single time in entire Old Testamwnt, so none of the previous prophets nor their audiences would know anything about Jesus.
- Secondly, the concept of God was absolutely crystal clear to all previous nations. All the prophets from Noah to Moses, taught belief in One God, they never gave any impression of a triune God not a multi-person God whatsoever.
- Finally, the pathway to salvation was straight and simple during the times of each prophet.
For example, those who lived at the time of Moses, had to believe in One God and obey the teachings of Moses. Those who lived at the time of David, had to believe in One God and obey the teachings of their current prophet David. Similarly at the time of Zechariah, belief in One God and obedience to teachings of their current prophet Zechariah.
Yes, we agree those who lived the time of Jesus, must believe in One God and follow the teachings of Jesus but for those who preceded him never had to know or have belief in Jesus.
Conclusion: There was no concept of Jesus known or taught or presumed or preached prior to Jesus yet all people had their pathway to salvation through their own prophets.
