Creationism, Christians, and Honesty

Okay. I think we mean the same thing here then. I wouldn’t use the term “seeing the Holy Spirit” to describe this though (and I wouldn’t have even when I was a Christian). I’d rather say you’re using your human intuition to get a sense of another person’s character and intentions.

It’s hard to fully describe, but it’s that whole interplay between the sort of look they have in their eyes, the specific words they use, how their voice sounds when they speak, where they look when they speak, how they react to other people speaking, body posture and so on. This whole thing together gives a sort of impression of a person, and we all develop this sort of whole demeanor and bodylanguage interpretation ability throughout our lives.

Yes, of course. But there’s more to the Holy Spirit I think in that you can see where sin specifically might be affecting you or them and how their actions flow from their hearts. That’s why if people were holding on to specific political idols they might not see Falwell’s character for what is was because they had the same idols. Same goes for any sin or idols.
