On the Bible as Word of God, the Chosen People, & the JQ

Solo flight with Jasun answering questions, is the Bible the word of God? If so, what percentage? How essential is the Old Testament to Christianity? Is the Christian God the same as Yahweh, the God of the Tanakh (Old Testament)? If so, how? If not, how not? Are Jews still God’s chosen people? Were they ever?Is it okay for God to have a chosen people/national identity? Does the fact of a passage or book being in the Bible give it special validity? If so, how so? Is it okay to pick and choose which parts of the Bible are true? By what criteria? Can someone be a Christian without ever having read the Bible? Or without knowing it?
