No, not at all. The Old Testament was the revealing of God's word to the Israelites; the New Testament is the revealing of God's word to ALL mankind. In a very real sense The Bible is first and foremost for NON-Christians, that through its teachings one may learn of Christ and have the opportunity to choose whether or not to believe in Him. After all, no one is born a Christian; thus everyone who comes to the Bible is a non-Christian unless and until they believe in it and obey its commandments.
Romans 16:26 - but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith
Acts 17:30 - Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
No, the bible is not only for christians to read.
Answer:
No. On the "Last Great Day" [Judgment Day], the books of the Bible will be opened to judge the resurrected dead, great and small, regardless of nationality or religious belief.
"He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My Words [the Bible], hath one that judgeth him: the Word that I have spoken [the Bible], the same shall judge him in the Last Day.
"For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His Commandment is Life Everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak." (John 12:48-50)
"...I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened... and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." (Rev.20:12)
God began giving His Word [His Commandment] to Adam: "...And the Lord God commanded the man..." - Gen.2:16; when all the future nations of the world were still within him.
God's Word is for all of mankind.
