Quoting the Bible does not answer the question. I am asking YOU.

When you accept His free gift of salvation He opens your eyes to the truth.

In the old testament there were no Christians Christianity did exist until after the Resurrection of Christ when Saul went out to kill all of the followers of Christ who then became Christians and Saul was then known as the Christian killer Christ appeared to Saul and took his sight away and was given the name Paul who then became a apostle and was inspired by God to right Acts and Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus,all God inspired a man who's job was to kill Christian to write these books, so the answer to your question is NO. Paul was given his sight back

I'm not sure what you mean by "valid insight" but I do know that Jesus said the following.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
So if you are asking if God only made his plan for salvation available through faith in Christ Jesus, then I would echo the words that Peter spoke when he was filled with God's Holy Spirit.
Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, 9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by him this man is standing before you well. 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

I think this is an excellent question that gets to the heart of the matter.

Guidance is for those who seek it from God alone.
May God's light illuminate you from darkness.
[004:157] And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Ãsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," – but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them [the resemblance of 'Ãsâ (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man)], and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely, they killed him not [i.e. 'Ãsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ['alayhis-salâm]]:
[004:158] But Allâh raised him ['Ãsâ (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) to Himself (and he ['alayhis-salâm] is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise.
[004:159] And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him ['Ãsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being] before his ['Ãsâ (Jesus) ['alayhis-salâm] or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Ãsâ (Jesus)] will be a witness against them.

there is no god, and believers are nuts.
