J.B. Phillips... Heretic!

"Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." -Matthew 7:20

       John Bertram Phillips (1906-1982), a well-known Bible paraphraser, was a straight-up heretic. J.B. Phillips was no Christian. His writings plainly reveal what he believed:

Knowing these things, would any born-again, Jesus-loving Christian buy, read and study this man's Bible paraphrases? Would they give their helpless child who knows no better a Phillips Bible to learn about Jesus?

According to Phillips' autobiography (The Price of Success, 1984, p. 116) Billy and Ruth Graham visited him in 1952. Billy Graham supposedly thanked him for his work. I say, "No thank you."
