You said that a person is only a soul/entity, their action's mean nothing. So are you saying only to God does a person's actions form a part of their being? I don't quite understand why someone's actions are a part of their being for God, but not for you - Either someone's actions are a part of them - or they're not.
I don't think I am doing service to your question but I will try and explain anyway.
Whilst God will judge the actions of people, I do not believe that this reflects on his love for them. It is because he is just that he must judge accordingly.
In the same way, while I see the child rapists' actions as sinful and wrong I do not have any less love for them. Especially since I am just as guilty as they are.
So while God may have created a soul/entity he gave it choice and judges it's choices accordingly. This does not affect how much he loves the creation though. To use the same example again, while a parent may smack their child to punish them for something that was wrong, they do not have any less love for that child.
Yeah, a new thread sounds good. I've had it for about tonight though (and this is the second time I've had to write this post out, lol).
I was worried that we were going off-topic. Anyhow I will apologise in advance, since I may not be able to post as much tomorrow because I have a heap of homework to get through before the term goes back.
