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

[YahwehIsTheWay]

Hey Sword, I know you're busy talking to the Hell-bound but I'm feeling left out of this conversation.

We were discussing the Bible on slavery. I offered you multiple examples of chapter-and-verse where both the OT and the NT endorse the practice and even a quote where Jesus gives the nod to beating slaves. I asked you for chapter-and-verse where I could find anything to support your assertion that it was Christianity that led to the abolition of slavery.

I'm deeply curious, so if you could get back to me, that would be great.

We were discussing the Bible on democracy, equality and rights. I provided chapter-and-verse where the Bible endorses the divine right of kings and the subjugation of women. Even Jesus has his moment where he endorses racism (the "Canaanite Dogs" story). I asked you to provide chapter-and-verse where I could see support for your assertion that Christianity promotes freedom and equality.

I'm deeply curious about that too, so please get back to me.

And then there's your whole touchy-feeley-New-Agey thinking on the morality of Jesus being in every one of us, including the unsaved. I was curious about your alternate Christianity, and I think this is a reasonable question:

If the morality of Jesus is in all of us, what do we need religion for?

This, of course, leads to other questions. Couldn't atheists just follow their conscience? And if by following their conscience, atheists are doing God's Will, then does that mean they can attain salvation? If if that's the case, isn't Christ's sacrifice in vein?

If you could get back to me, that would be wonderful.

So many phony "Christians" on this forum eventually ignore me as an embarrassment but they can't deny I'm the one that's actually reading this book and getting my direction from it.
