Going ‘below the surface’ … any Christian who thinks he/she isn’t ‘a work in progress’ is deluded and misrepresents the faith. It’s in that space that some of the apparent inconsistencies sit. And then , of course , there may well be the bad actors who have adopted a label but have no spiritual authenticity. I’ve met a few and don’t blame people for being put off. Jesus warned that they would show up in every generation.
