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

Yeh, we were there before. Some 18 months ago. The part where you were at a loss explaining how an immortal god of the trinity can make a sacrifice for a sin he himself created.

The point is moot. More than moot. An immortal and eternal being can't die. So, subscribing to the trinity, you probably have the same hard time coming up with an explanation how this should be called a sacrifice.

Because Jesus was a mortal human being and he did die. According to the doctrine of the trinity Jesus is God and man. I don't think you were discussing this with me because I would have told you that God didn't create sin. He did create beings with the capacity to sin.

I tend to see the trinity etc. as a sort of electrical circuit, and it's one that short circuits. Yes, God created the problem. Which means God then forgives himself by sacrificing himself to himself, so that he no longer has the problem that he created himself. Now, where do we enter the picture? There is no meaningful flow between him and us. It just revolves around his doings, and we're on the sideline.
