You do have a way of knowing. I've given you -their- evolving rationale for the belief, as they argued at the councils that decided what was accurate belief...which they recorded, which caused further recorded schisms and discord both within the western church and between the western and eastern churches. That's why -they- say these things are heresies. Things like there only being the appearance of a body, or no body. Different ideas about christology that form the list of recorded anathema.
....but I'd just refer christian apologists back to their own magic book, with "paul" himself laying it out in no uncertain terms, as I did at the start.
This time in full.
-For John,
Whatever merit "the originals" stand on, it isn't witness testimony. We know that they aren't witness testimony, or based on witness testimony.

Quote:4 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.
