The Bible is like a giant history book, it learns from itself, and in it exists valid and invalid doctrines when it comes to pertaining those doctrines to life today. For example, many of the books of the OT, Leviticus comes to mind, are only valid and relevant to the people of those times. Following portions of those doctrines would be unsound if not illegal today. Other examples are Letters, these are really only relevant to the immediate time period.
The real Bible is the Gospels and a few other books that pertain to Jesus, well to Christianity, not Judaism. And these are what need to be emphasised. Following laws in the OT is like applying the ideas of Nazism to this modern day. It's unsound, and outdated, among other things. Be my example a bit crude, but it is true to an extent.
