I do not understand what is meant by God's glory, or righteous vindication. Vindication for what...being human?
God created human beings, complex and capable of many things, and He gave us this wonderful planet to live on, and made us capable of creating many religions to worship Him with.
Why create a place where one suffers for eternity, just because someone doesn't belong to the same religion, and believe the same way? Since we are all His creations, and He knew before we were born, what our choices would be, we are just behaving as He would have us behave.
How is this glorifying?
How can you? You are not a christian.
***I do not understand what is meant by God's glory, or righteous vindication.***
"Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the LORD
and righteousness from the God of his salvation."
- from Psalms 24
