Yes. I picked up one of his books at a Barnes and Noble in 2008. Coincidentally, or perhaps not so coincidentally (which I believe it was) I just happened to find the page where he said (paraphrased because it’s been too long):
“I grew up in a household that rejected the notion of sending 3/4 of the world’s population to Hell”.
If I had any doubts, and I pretty much didn’t at that point, I knew this guy knew nothing about the wide path and the fact that the overwhelming majority of the world rejects that Jesus Christ is Lord and the Messiah.
Therefore, the nonsense that he was “a Christian” was never going to be sold to me ever again. Further, it got me booted from a collection of “prophecy watchers” who couldn’t even discern what he was; for I was not respectful enough to him. They can have him. I hope they enjoy him. You learn quite a bit about people’s true nature when the chips are down.
Francis Chan (paraphrased):
I know about the wide road and the narrow road. But suddenly my congregation was trying to tell me there’s a middle road.
I’m trying to remember my paraphrase a little better. I THINK it’s more like this but it’s been way too long since I read it.
“I grew up in a household that rejected the notion of sending 3/4 of the world’s population to Hell - simply for being the wrong religion”.
