James jesus brother would have also known about jesus buriel and ressurrection. Peter too.
And this dont mean paul invented the 500 witnesses. What did he halucinate 500 witnesses now? Because you yourself said hes honest, so he cant INVENT this.
But they did not seem to mention it. The "Epistle of James" does not mention that. The Epistles of Peter are thought to be pseudonymous.
The question is where did Paul get the claim of 500 witnesses from? No one else mentions it, even in the works that are of questionable authorship.
And I never said that he was honest. I said that he was probably delusional. Not lying is not the same as being honest. A person can be wrong and believe his error, a person can be delusional and not understand how he made up something. Neither of those are examples of lying.
Where does the story of 500 witnesses come from? An uncomfortable question that you cannot seem to answer.
