How can a Christian reject part of the Bible and still call themselves a Christian?

I think I'd probably know, better than you, whether or not a ghost is reaching out to me.  Pro -tip..it aint.

Quote:The bible receives it's authority from God who reveals it to us through the Spirit.
A much better strategy, so long as you cease to engage you can't keep putting your foot in your mouth.

Quote:There is only one truth.  We may all have different opinions about what verses in the bible mean, but if we have Jesus we have what the bible is directing us to, and he is truth.  If I have Jesus, it doesn't matter a whole lot if I believe that I should worship on Saturday or Sunday.  The truth in that matter is probably that it doesn't matter what day I worship, but there is a truth to everything.  If we have Jesus, we may not know the truth about every statement in the bible, but we have salvation, which is what the bible is pointing us to.
So why would an "improper reading" matter, at all?  Even an improper reading, if it leads to jesus, is a-ok...right? Matter of fact, without any sincerity or open mindedness whatsoever you may get an "improper reading" (because that's how that happens..right?)..or you may not be called by or have the crib notes of a ghost and get an "improper reading"........all of which leads you to jesus regardless, making it a-ok.

Riiiiiiight?
