First, remove the entire Old Testament. The first five books of it are what the jews have on their scroll they read on Friday night, called Torah, and the rest are other jewish authors.
Second, consider that if you are a Christian, the main and only person you should be listening to is Jesus. The only books where he speaks are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (there are entirely too many Johns in the NT, by the way). As many have pointed out, there are loads of conflicts in the New Testament, but those conflicts are gone if Jesus is the only word, and those conflicts are almost always from Paul. Absolutely get rid of Revelations.
So now we only have the Gospels, but there is more work to do. As we are aware, the Councils of Nicaea rewrote and tweaked the bible to create another "legitimate" temple religion. In doing so, they threw in loads of callbacks to Judaism. Get rid that "lineage of Jesus from King David". Comb through and find any and all traces of jews .. John 4:22 was most likely rewritten back in 300 AD, for example.
What you have left is Jesus teaching you to be a peaceful and wholesome person, treating yourself, God, nature, and the other people around you with kindness and decency, holding no stock on material possessions (easier for a camel to pas through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven), and seeking to live a spiritual life. Much like Buddha was trying to teach (and the asians fucked that up, too).
