I agree that in theory anything is possible.

I think most Christians would agree with your second statement. Even those that take other Biblical claims literally probably don't take these particular Biblical claims literally.

As for Christ's message of salvation, you don't even need to believe anything specific about the Bible. Christians have interpreted the Bible many different ways and yet to be Christian means to believe in salvation in some form.

Gnostics and many early Christians also interpreted the Bible in widely varying ways especially when contrasted with modern interpretations. I'm sure many early believers wouldn't even accept the KJV as a valid interpretation of their holy text, nor would they accept the books that were included and excluded.

Og, AB, and myself all accept Christ's message of salvation. Its just we don't interpret it the way most fundamentalists do. In fact, there are Hindus and Buddhists who accept Christ's message of salvation.
