Only if you believe in that sort of thing.I believe in leprechauns and so everything written about them that suggests they are real is, by definition of belief, true.

Well, from a historical standpoint, the disciples wrote it long after Jesus died, so the stories are bound to have errors, or at least, not be as accurate as they would have been had they been written during his actual life. For religion's sake, the Bible is a collection of stories, and I believe that it is meant to be a guide to how to live and be a good person rather than to be taken 100% literally. Although, everyone has their own point of view when it comes to that belief, and some people do take it 100% literally. That's why there are so many denominations of Christian churches. :)

The Bible is like any other history book. Is nothing magical or 100 % accurate. The Bible is a compilation of rolls and there are some missing. Now, it also depends of the interpretation pretty much like the works of William Shakespeare which are full of parabolas, innuendos and etc.

It is taught that everything in the bible, everything god preaches, etc. is true. If god is falsified once, the whole thing comes down.
Some of it may be harder to interpret, since the time, and translations (I know that they all come directly from the greek bible)

Yes. If part of it is true and part of it is false, how can you know what is or is not true? A lot of people do this pick and choose thing, accepting some things and not others, but personally, I dont think this works.

Yes. Absolutely true. Verified twice and no known contradictions. Earth is the center of the universe also. The sun evolves around us.

Yes. Hebrews 6:18 "...it is impossible for God to lie... Also, at 1 Thessalonians 2:13 "Indeed, that is why we also thank God incessantly, because when you received God's word, which you heard from us, you accepted it, not as the word of men, but, just as it truthfully is, as the word of God, which is also at work in you believers." 2 Timothy 3:16, 17 "All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

Considering it was written a LONG time after the events took place, I'm relatively sure that there was some poetic license taken in it's writing. I would not take it as completely true. I would not live by all it's laws. If I did, I would have had to kill my child the first time she was disobedient.

Absolutely. For example, in Genesis 1, where God creates Adam and Eve at the same time, that is literally true. Also, in Genesis 2, where God creates Adam first and Eve second, that is also literally true.
In Leviticus, where it warns that if you cut the corners of your beard, you will be stoned to death, that is true. (That's also where it teaches that homosexuality is wrong, and as you know, both homosexuality and shaving are things Fundamentalist Christians today will do anything to stomp out, since both are condemned in Leviticus, and everything in the Bible is literally true.)
In Proverbs, where it says "answer a fool according to his folly," that is literally true. And in Proverbs, where it says, "answer not a fool according to his folly," that is literally true.
