Ok maybe in english but in the original greek it is written differently.
2 Timothy 1:18
"may grant to him the lord to find mercy from the lord in that day, and for as much as in Ephesus he served better. You know it."

That's the link you used correct? either way this is slightly different as it states that onesiphorus was preaching in Ephesus and Paul himself wasn't there. The only person who claimed to be an apostle and preached in ephesus that we know of in scripture is Paul.
Also I know this is sort of unrelated. But have you noticed the similarites of Saul from the old testament and Saul from the new testament.
> Both were against a decendant of David. Jesus and well David himself
> Both were from the tribe of Benjamin
> Both were named Saul.
> Saul was replaced by David as king and Paul tried to be an apostle.
Just a little nod.
Also why did James question Paul about trying to get rid of the mosaic law. Wny would James have the need to question Paul if he never preached against the law
Acts 18-24
"18And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 19And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 20And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: 21And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 22What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law."
Now if this were the pharisees then I could obviously see where your arguments come from however this is James we are talking about not some random pharisee we don't even know the name of. Now if James questioned Paul then why shouldn't we? Then there is 2 corinthians 3:12-16
"Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. 15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away."
> Compare Paul to other teachers in acts
Well the first thing we see him do is support the stoning of stephan. Not exactly a stunning representation of christian morale. However that was before his conversion and we saw earlier that James questioned Paul.
Look I'm looking for the truth and this whole paul thing is one of the largest things that could change how scripture is viewed. Discussing and coming to the conclusion if Paul is a deciever or not. Should be promoted because understanding things ourselves will help us understand more about Jesus.
also I see you don't do that Yeshua/Yahshua thing. I think that is stupid myself tbh
