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

If someone can pick parts of the bible to reject then where do you stop?
To me it has to be all true or its all full of crap. You can't take a book that is the word of God and say that parts of it are not true. If a Christian can say that some of it is wrong then I can say all of it is wrong.

You're right. If you are a christian and believe that the bible is God's inspired word, you can't pick and choose. You need to know what it teaches in order to know if the person you're talking to does reject part though. As with the case of killing homosexuals in the old testament, Jesus abolished the old testament law and formed a new covenant. The old testament Jews were required to follow that law, but we're not. Homosexuality is still immoral, but it's dealt with differently by christian society. This is not changing morality, but changing rules. I find many non-christians referring to old testament requirements and asking why we don't do that today. What looks like we're not accepting something from the bible may not be that at all. Having said all that - many christians do not accept some parts of the bible - and they're wrong, but can still be christians.
