Bro, let's go with what you are saying here. You are teaching to your congregation not only that they should allow their children to break other people's belongings without correction. But also that the Apostle was an active wretch and first of all who sin? Both mean that he was actively engaging in sinning. Hey, bro, this is why what you believe is so bipolar. Out of one side of your face you say we "should" grow to the stature of Christ, and then you say that Paul couldn't do it because he was a wretch? You teach he was first of all who sin? Sounds more like Paul Washer than Paul the Apostle.

I take Paul at his word. He called himself a sinner, he called himself a wretched man. Ask Paul, he can answer for himself.

That's like taking John 11:35 then calling Jesus the weeping prophet.

Bro, you just don't teach the Bible in its complete context. You swung on a pendulum from what you were raised in, and landed in the muck where you are now. Sad story, but what is even sadder you can't seem to climb out. Even if Jesus preached, Paul took up the offering, and David played his harp. You will stay in your contrary belief system while you waterboard who you see as your enemy.
