The Bible is two parts:
"This is the model for how you live a good life, follow it or else. Here's a bunch of stories of people who did and did not follow this advice and what happened to them. Even here you can somewhat negotiate with God as Lot did in Soddom and Gamora. He also shows grace as with Israel's many failures, but such grace isn't as explicit as the second part."
And
"But God doesn't hate you, God loves you, so let's discuss how He understands you are a fallible human living in a broken world so He will show grace when you falter so long as you know you screwed up and you feel legitimately bad for it, but that by no means suggests you ought to accept or embrace sin. By the way, don't be like these assholes who focus on rule lawyering over being a good person. In the same way the first part demonstrates Grace, this part still demands one follow God's laws."
No part of the Bible is the hippy trippy boomer story about how you can do whatever you want whenever you want.
As with any matter theological, I have to point out that I'm not an authority and just a retard on the internet trying to make some sense out of the world and the long arc of human history.
