Through people speaking to one another face to face — Holy Tradition.

Why don’t Protestants in general accept this?

Because people sometimes lie. For example, in 1 Kings 13 a man of God is sent from Judah to Bethel to prophecy. God tells him not to eat or drink until he gets back. But as he returns, an old prophet of God tells him the Lord has rescinded the command about eating and drinking. The man of God then goes home with the old prophet to have dinner. But while they are eating, a revelation comes that the order not to eat or drink is still in effect; the old prophet had been lying.

So now speaking is tradition??? No one denies Paul talked with the disciples and other individuals. But does that make it "tradition"????

Also noted in this passage in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 is that Jesus appeared to James....His half brother. And yet catholicism says Mary remained a virgin.

You can't know that. Unless you were there and saw it happen, there is no possible way for you or anyone else to know that as a fact.
