I've been asking about this ever since forever. How is it that no Christian whatsoever has ever elaborated on this close personal relationship in an unambiguous and clear (unvague) manner?
I think we both know the answer to that.
What I find interesting is how all of this personal interaction with the divine never yields more than what they already 'knew' from their holy book. I mean, I have personal relationships with people such that I could tell you things about them (personality quirks, odd likes/dislikes, etc.) that would almost certainly never appear in biographical sketches of their lives and characters. You'd think that believers who claim to have a pipeline to God would be able to supply something unexpected and of interest. But no. There's not a shred of synthetic knowledge (if you will) to be had.
