When: many times throughout my life.
What is He like: awsome.
What else has He said: through the snide remarks of nonbelievers I will show you more truths.
One thing has always intrigued me: what is it like when God actually 'speaks' to you? Is it like a normal conversation, with that level of clarity and vividness, as if God were in the room with you? Also, what has he revealed to you through our snide remarks? These, by the way, are serious questions. I'm genuinely interested, because I just can't understand your mindset. It's alien to me. Please, enlighten me.
When God reveals things to me it's not like a normal conversation but at times the clarity and vividness is like He was standing beside me. Sometimes He uses situations to reveal an answer and other times it's like an idea comes to me and I know that it's a revealed answer from God simply because I would have no idea what the answer to a question should be.
Not everyone has had snide remarks but when some do make remarks about verses of scripture I pray about it then start searching out all the related verses in the Bible and a great deal of the time God shows me the answer through the scriptures and I trust this because I trust His word (the Bible) and because I understand the sense of the matter. I've given you answers to your questions about how God communicates with me this does not mean that He doesn't use other ways for other people. I've answer your questions knowing that others are going to once again call this fundie delusional but that's OK I'm here to learn not preach or worry about what others think about me I'm very secure in my faith.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
