I agree. There are too many instances when he presented his life as being, "chief among sinners."
He couldn't have, IMHO, come across as abrasive and still be effective.
I don't read him that way at all. I don't believe that would have washed for many people. It doesn't do it today and I don't think human mindset has changed that much.
If you are forgiven you can't come across pounding other people. It just doesn't work.
