He lived during a time at which the ORIGINAL disciples were still going around town saying that Jesus rose from the dead...the belief in the Resurrection began with the original disciples...and Paul met Peter, and James, brother of Jesus.
How would you know about that?
Paul says so?
Did Peter ratify that claim?

Did the Corinthians ever reply to his letters?

"claimed to"
Tolkien claimed to use the Red Book of Westmarch as a base for the Lord of the Rings account.
Does that make Hobbits real? Rings of power? Wizards? Nazgul?
