(May 29, 2015 at 8:24 am)Nope Wrote: What does the Holy Spirit do? When I was a Christian, I had a vague idea that H.S was the method that god and Jesus used to interact with living Christians but I have heard the term used in a variety of ways that are confusing.

For instance..."I am filled with the Holy Spirit" typically means that someone is in a very good mood. Some people use the word Holy Spirit as a synonym for their ability to determine right or wrong. They might claim that they are less inclined to do wrong because of the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives.


Because Christians are no worse or better than non Christians, what proof do those of you who are religious  have that something like the H.S really exists? What is the H.S and how do you believe it interacts with humans? Do you think that H.S makes Christians less inclined to do wrong than non Christians?

The Holy Spirit is the power of God on Earth. Explaining further would have no meaning to anyone who has no concept of God in a spiritual sense.
