Is it possible for believers to believe the Bible has mistakes in it?

What are they 100% in agreement with? Surely not all your dogma is agreed on by everyone. I know at least two people who are not in agreement about reporting the time we spend in the ministry.
OK. When someone called him "Good" why did he say "why do you call ME good, no one is good but God alone"?

I would disagree with you saying that God makes us holy. Individuals and community of believers make God holy. I would argue that listening to one's heart, living a spiritual life is akin to what Christianity owns as being likened to God. Briefly, I'd say that Genesis 1; 27 is to explain that everyone has this spiritual likeness of God even if there is not God.

I feel that Jesus was talking about his inner being the Christ, which we are all of, we as the mind body or carnal self can do nothing without he higher self, God, or Consciousness, and that's all it is.

You see, no one agrees about God. My 40 years of searching for the truth and your seminary degree. I would not be saying what I say if biblical scholars and theologians did not back my thoughts up.
There's two reasons for this. First, Jesus has two Natures - human and Divine. Sometimes He is speaking from His Divinity and sometimes He is speaking from His humanity. The second is that part of the reason for Jesus' Incarnation was to teach us the proper way of living and viewing things as a human being. So, in that verse, He is saying that only God is absolutely good. Humans cannot make that claim.

I really look closely to what Catholicism says. I search the Bible and I look towards the ancient languages for further verification. Nonsense? You sound like the Magisterium, "Please, let's stop this nonsense thinking that there's nothing in the Bible that says that Christ is God. Go brush up on your Biblical knowledge."
So you're saying Jesus as God was not good?
Nothing to do with Catholicism specifically. It's not only Catholics who believe in the Trinity. The vast majority of Christians do - Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant. Others believe that Jesus is God but reject the Trinity, such as Oneness Pentecostals and Mormons. The rest reject His Divinity, but they're very much the minority of all views.
No, He is making a point about people. Obviously Jesus is good.

Because Jesus peace be upon him always taught that there is One God and that we should worship God, he didn't want people to worship him as they are doing today?
I already explained that verse above. Also, Jesus was worshiped in the Bible.
This is a Protestant site but it does list examples of Christ being worshiped in the NT: Does the Bible describe Jesus being worshiped?
And when he fell down in the garden, and prayed...He was just joshing with everyone, because he was praying to himself?
The Son is not the Father and vice versa. Remember, Jesus is human, too.
And is the Father, God?
Yes, and so is the Son.
So God is distinguishable?
God is One God in Three Persons. He can be thought of as having Three Aspects.
Three? What is the third person?
