NIV, NASB, et al. all its glory like the flower of grass

KJV

1Pet. 1:24

all the glory of man as the flower of grass.

(Having grafted God's glory on to man, new versions must now keep under wraps the verse which windows the withering of man's glory.)

They "esteemed him not" (Isaiah 53:3)

Self-esteem comes from a reservoir of esteem stolen from God. Before men can "claim the attributes of God" (blasphemy), they must rob God of his glory (blasphemy). Once God is stripped of his glory, what remains is the amoral and impersonal god of Hinduism who gives "instructions," then capriciously punishes and humiliates man. The wise God of scripture "commands," because he cares and is "grieved" when for purposes of growth, he must chasten his children. New versions present a god whose despoiled character matches the New Age version of God.

God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29
