I strongly agree with you that the words of God are all of equal value, i.e. a thing is true because God says it.

For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast. – Psalms 33:4-9

Further, I assert that when any of His children do not understand His revelations in Scripture – they should ask Him about it and not lean on their own understanding – a tendency of man which leads to anthropomorphizing God into a small “god” the puny, mortal mind can comprehend:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. – Proverbs 3:5-6

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: - Luke 24:25

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. – Matt 22:29

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. – Matt 13:10-13

For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. – Isaiah 55:8-11

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. – John 16:12-13

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. - Mark 5:36

He will guide each of us according to our ability, our need and most especially, His will.

To God be the glory!

Just make sure you get a positive ID on the voices that come back in your head...

Out of curiosity, how do you know God is speaking back to you? Does the voice say "Alamo-Girl" and you answer "Here I am"? And then He says "I am the Lord your God..."? That's biblical! :)

Or do you kind of "know" (there goes that gnosis again) it's God because...Or does it just "make sense?" Makes sense? Does Incarnation make sense?

Or do you have a secret "handle" when God talks back to you...kind of like a special "tune" that's positively only God's?

Are you sure it's not you talking back to you?
