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

The "moral consequence" of disobeying god was..if the story is to be believed, being cursed by same-said god.  Does that speak to mans morality or gods?

Il;m not sure that makes something an authority, let alone a moral authority.  I "created" my children...hopefully they realize that my word isn't the last word...that I can be wrong and/or just plain nuts.  Just like I realized with my folks.  This is just a ridiculous concept of ownership.  I reject the concept of ownership /w regards to human beings.  No one owns them regardless of whether or not they "created" them.  How about you?

Sleight of hand there. We're not talking about A&E, we're talking about the metaphysics God created, namely, morality. It's fine to own a set of ideas. So of course God doesn't own them (to my mind), and he's just a judge at an eternal court proceeding.

....so, no grounds at all.

Yup. Because the creator of Google has no authoritative grounds over Google.

Is that a moral issue with moral consequences?  If I took my pants off right now..does that make me a good or a bad person?  What are the consequences of nakedness, or awareness of nakedness?

It was just a joke  Angel

EDIT: dammit. The new layout for replying it makes it confusing where the [quote] [endquote] are!
