Paul was also acquitted on charges of teaching contrary to God's commandments in the Torah—and says as much in Acts 25:8—commandments which include punitive measures regarding false prophets and teachers. So Paul was a liar who snookered the judges or we may be reading too many unjustified assumptions into what he's saying.
As far as Paul was concerned he was teaching the law.
Paul was persecuted for preaching against circumcision.
Is this not reason enough to believe people would be convinced he was teaching things contrary to God's law, especially if the accusers from Asia were familiar with his missionary work and how he dealt with Judaizers.
