A question? How does Paul state that 500 people saw Jesus after his Resurrection (at one time) when it is not recorded in any Gospel? Holy Tradition — passing the Word of God on one person to another.

That is purely assumtion.

It's entirely possible he was witness to the occurrance.

Additionally, relating an account of something to someone does NOT qualify it to be "tradition". "holy". or not.

Paul was personally instructed by a Witness to those events, One Who does not lie.
