>> Sounds like you think that you are already there vis a vis your claimed personal revelation from God
I am a born again follower of Christ, and thus have a relationship with Him. To the extent that you believe that qualifies as a “front row seat”, then maybe so. However, a personal relationship with God is not a result of personal perfection or achievement. Salvation is available to all by Grace alone.
>> I am interested in the form and the process that you claim results in the personal relationship. You have claimed that God reveals things to you. How, specifically?
Through prayer, scriptural study, and His presence in my life. I think I’ve been as clear as I can. How do you believe God reveals Himself to the Vatican? How did they get a front row seat that remains unavailable to rank-and-file Catholics? The relationship that you believe the Pope has with God is available to each and every person on this earth. That is the best explanation I can offer.
>> [...] please illuminate those of us who are not blessed with this level of revelation from God.
I am apparently and unfortunately unqualified to offer such illumination — there are multitudes of Baptist pastors that are much more eloquent than I on such subjects.
Ultimately, illumnation will come only from God Himself. Pastors and faithful followers can only point you in the right direction.

What you claim and what is true may be considerably divergent. I do not believe that you have a front row seat; I do believe that you believe you have one.

You are still circumspect. What do you claim is His presence in your life and how does He communicate with you?
The relationship that you believe the Pope has with God is available to each and every person on this earth. That is the best explanation I can offer.
It's a lousy one. For one thing, you have not explained any of your claims. For another thing, you have no idea of what I believe that the Pope's relationship with God is.

More Gnosticism. That was condemned by the Church in the first Century and rightly so. I must thank you though, for being forthright in that admission.
