The Apostle Paul.
Romans 7:15-8:1 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain
15For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8
1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus
I think that descibes me better than I could.

I am not a Christian and you probably won't like my answer but I want to share anyway so =P
The snake in the Garden of Eden. I try and get people to see things from different points of view and am often times vilified for it. The snake imparted the knowledge (like Gods knowledge) of good and evil (a different perspective) and was vilified for it.
I know, I know.......the snake was talking them into disobeying God but like I said, I'm not Christian and I don't believe that knowledge can be evil, although how it is used can be.

At this point in my life I feel like Mary M. and I am not talking about the mother of Jesus. I know Jesus has already cleansed me from several demons in my life, I love him so much I wish I could wash his feet with my tears and hair. But I still have a way to go when I grow up I want to be like Paul. (Saul)

I'm guessing old testament counts here? If so, Habakkuk. I guess because he complained a lot, and I'm sort of a procrastinator, and then I wonder why I do so poorly. If it's new testament, I feel like Peter (when he was 'telling' Jesus what and what not to do, eg. not go die on the cross), I just feel like I need to take control that something can get done.

Jacob in Egypt during the famine. Too old to do very much, all I can do is try to warn the younger people. But most of them are just like I was- proud, too busy, no time for God.
Every day that goes by is a day gone. One day they will look up, and all they will be able to see is the end. Believe me, it will be too close for comfort.

Right now I feel like Elijah. He was the one who defended the one true God and God's ways written in the Torah (old Testament) against all of the pagan priests. I am passionately against all of the lies being taught to people and teachings that don't line up with the word.

Paul. When Paul wrote in Romans 7:15-25 I believe he wrote that just for me. I am a prodigal daughter and because of my flesh I left the fellowship of God and Jesus. Read that scripture to understand what I mean. I can relate to what it is like to know what one should do but what you know to do you do not. Flesh is the biggest devil in my life. I am not saying things about sexual stuff, but things like not reading the bible like I should, and praying like I should. I let my flesh get in the way of God.

Not sure because I try not to compare myself to other people,I have had a Job experience (ouchy), I have had a stephen experience, I have a Peter experience (I am a youth leader, building the ministry (this relates to the other two slightly) And Deborah, Ruth, Esther...
Really I am uniquely me, not all these people have experienced the same things I have experience and I haven't experienced all that they have experienced.
Right now, i am really excited because God has delievered me from a phobia of snakes. (Praise God, so I feel like David, a Heart full of praise to God.)

Joseph, because he was sold in slavery by his own brothers, put in prison for a crime he didn't commit, and then God elavated in while in prison to be second in charge next to pharoah himself. This is my testimony it's a mirror image of Joseph's. My favor part of this whole story is that the Bible says, "and God was with Joseph". God proved to me that he was with me throughout my prison sentence too. Thank you Jesus!

I would have to say Job. I haven't had nearly a fraction of Jobs trials, but I have had a hard life and am still praising God.
