...Because that IS THE REASON for our existence! There is one other than God Himself, The Son. The Holy Spirit is the Love which is personified between both Father & Son. Before you start spewing gender at me...it has nothing to do with sex, or humanness. It's about Divinity and absolute perfection! You can look at the Trinity as the perfect model Family! "IF" God indeed created us in His image, than there will also be obvious parallels in our lives to look for.
Just as we (most peeps) want to find the perfect ONE in life to love, and to have offspring to celebrate our joy together...so it is with God!
And, because the Love is so abundant in the union of the Trinity it won't be contained. Here's where we "humans" come in.
There were other "beings" created as higher life forms, called Angels. Catholics believe that all beings (human souls & angel spirits) cannot be destroyed because they are created from God. To destroy them would be to deny or kill a part of Himself!
Enter: free choice and....Hades!
The million dollar question: What joy is there in creating Robots to play with for eternity?
.....to be continued!
So if you do not see the Holy Spirit as a person of God, where do you get a trinity from. Christ did call Him another coming in My place, as if the Holy Spirit were a person, the same as the Father and Christ.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
