Peace SisterJennifer,
It isn't my "whim" that suited, scripture interprets scripture. That's how you can discern the true from the false. If you believed Jesus Christ came in bodily form (written by John) then you would also believe that Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh (also written by John), and you would further believe that the Word is God (also written by John). Scripture links to Scripture from beginning to end.
An individual cannot "choose" what to believe. Scripture says you cannot serve two masters, you either have obediance unto righteousness, or you obey sin unto death.
I know you don't understand, it has not been given to you to understand:
Matthew 13:11-14
(11) And He replied to them, To you it has been given to know the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
(12) For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
(13) This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because having the power of seeing, they do not see; and having the power of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp and understand.
(14) In them indeed is the process of fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: You shall indeed hear and hear but never grasp and understand; and you shall indeed look and look but never see and perceive.
