Confusion here in our hypotheticals will exist . In an actual person's life it's another story .  So far the Lord has never asked you or me to pass judgment especially where the Internal Forum is concerned . Even  a juror with all sorts of information cannot ever know culpability even while making a verdict of guilt .  Confusion has become a buzz word for ideas heavily laden with legalisms .  The Spirit drove Jesus to 
the desert where he was tempted .  Confusing ?  It only seems so .  Jesus tangled with the leadership of his belief system .  More confusion ?  Jesus did more than comfort the afflicted . He afflicted the comfortable.That is the kind of confusion God uses to wake us up . So sure the Holy Spirit just might be sowing confusion ....
