If you want to center your identity on Paul, so be it. But you will be missing the greatest gift, identity in Christ. You are one with Jesus Christ. "Let them be one with me as I'm one with you." Paul is good theology, but Jesus is perfect theology. I choose Jesus as my center.

"Paul is good theology, but Jesus is perfect theology." That sounds like a denial of inerrancy. If Paul's theology is God-breathed Scripture, then it is perfect theology. I want to base my identity on God's Word; all of it.
No, but God did, in his the person Son, and he inspired every word of it, including Paul referring to himself as a sinner. Are you seriously denying the divine inspiration of the Pauline epistles such that we should view Paul's words as less than the very word of God by which we must shape our doctrine and life?
