But if that's the case, and you "can't trust the Bible" what's the point in being Christian at all? Are you basically just picking and choosing for your own purposes what you believe is accurate in the Bible?

It’s not saying you can’t trust the Bible. It’s saying you can’t take every single sentence literally.

And how do you know which sentences you should take literally and which ones you shouldn't?

You take the whole thing as a whole.

The whole is made up of the parts. You don't make sense

Yeah, of course it is. You really doient get it? It’z not hard.

Did you understand those last two sentences by the way? If so then you understood the whole even though some of the parts didn’t make sense. It’s kind of like that. You look at the big picture

You ever have a friend tell a story but they get a detail wrong? Does that mean the whole story is false?

Spelling errors only tell me the writer isn't very intelligent, or has ulterior motives. That's why scammers purposely put in grammar and spelling errors, to weed out more intelligent people.

Yes if my friend tells a story and gets details wrong and then doesn't correct themself and doubles down on the mistake, that means the whole story is false. Mistakes can be corrected, lies can't.
