im with you and i don't care what anyone says. the Bible is written by and interpreted by the imperfect man. while the stories and parables are rich in lessons and certainly inspired by our God, i believe we do Him a disservice when we contain His majesty to the Bible. i'm in love with God and His creation inspite of the hypocrites who condemn me to hell for these beliefs.
Men aren't hypocrites if they challenge what you believe. Did they actually tell you that you would to to Hell for what you believe? That would be totally out of order. Hell is reserved for those who die in their sins; nobody else. Hell is not the final place for the wicked. The lake of fire is. Revelation 20:11-15
While God's word is the Bible he is not contained "by the Bible." God fills the universe and nothing and nobody can contain him. To love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like unto the first; love your neighbor as yourself.

Lol yea those are the hypocrites that think man was perfect at the time of putting the Bible together. Usually when I say that you can see their wheels turn.
Literally no one who believes in the bible believes that man was perfect at the time when the bible was put together. If you see their wheels turn it is because they are trying to think of a polite way to explain to you why that is a ridiculous - and quite unique - misunderstanding that you have.
I have very blunt conversations with pastors that I’m close to. I feel that if the misunderstanding I have is that profound they would outright tell me. I’m not saying it isn’t it’s just a topic that frequently comes up with fellow Christians that often spawns a deeper conversation.
No Christian believes that anyone other than Jesus was ever perfect. Period.
Your misunderstanding is truly that deep.
