Can I Be A Christian If I Dont Accept Some Stories In The Bible? by Lhanre(m): 3:59pm On Jun 28, 2020
Christians generally believe that most non Christian religious myths are just village fables, because of some illogical claims contained in such myths, for example Oduduwa descending from heaven via a chain.... However, such illogical stories contained in the Bible such as the serpent speaking to Eve in Genesis 3:1-4, and Balaams ass speaking in Numbers 22:28 are accepted as fact.

If I consider such bible stories as fables, would that still qualify me as a Christian??

Yes you are still a Christian from my point of view, because no where in the bible is it stated that you must believe every single story in those 66 books to become a Christian.
Fables were common in the ancient world, therefore read them as part of the Israelite fables, and of course God can also speak through these fables.
