Can one have a partial knowledge of Jesus or a partial relationship with Jesus?

Can one accept part of the Truth of Jesus and deny other parts of the Truth?

Would appear yes, but .......................

Rev 3:16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth!

We all see in part and know in part (1 Corinthians 13) because we see through a glass darkly.

For one thing, we are human and cannot fathom God fully. Ever.

The other is that our spiritual eyes are clouded while living here on this earth. The Holy Spirit can open them to some extent and draw us to Jesus and reveal spiritual truths to us but without His enlightening, we are still blind.

We aren’t in partial relationship with Him, ever. If may be imperfect but it’s either all, we have it, or nothing, we don’t.

We must accept all the Truth about Jesus as found in His word. It’s not comfortable many times, but that’s what it is and that;s what we have to deal with.
