Paul circumcised Timothy.

Paul circumcised Timothy because he wanted to take Timothy with him when he went to preach the Gospel in Lystra, and the Jews of that area knew that his father was Greek, Acts of the Apostles 16:1-3. He did it so that they would be accepted when they preached the Gospel to the Jews.
That doesn't mean that Gentile men have to be circumcised.

I can provide scholars who say 60 something AD. You provide a statement with no evidence which I already know is sketchy. There is one “church father” (believer who lived 2 century or so), who wrote when John was exiled. He also wrote that Jesus died when he was 50 or something like that. Not a knowledgeable man.

So you would assert that this was Paul's decision and not Timothy's

There is nothing that dates it to that caesar and internal evidence dates it to a younger author.

You would challenge the historians too?

This sounds sensational! Let's see your evidence.

You healing the sick, raising the dead, proving food from little?

What does this have to do with obedience to YHWH's word? I'm sure there is a connection; but please explain this connection; as you introduced it to the discussion.
