Eh, I think you're undercutting your own point here. Paul was a real guy, and actually wrote stuff. A page in a Narnia book very much can be fake, if it was written by someone other than Lewis Carrol but attributed to him. Likewise, if a writing attributed to Paul was not actually written by Paul, it's a fake.

There actually isn't a whole lot of evidence that Paul existed outside of the old copies of the new testament.

There also is no one true copy of the bible, no one true church.

So unless historical evidence such as preserved letters or records from ancient Rome resurface, everything about Paul from start to finish in the bible is equally legitimate; it's not really.

I think if I have to spell out my previous example more in-depth, you can't point to Aslan talking about the old magics as him lying, as the book it's mentioned in treats it as canonical fact in a work of fiction.
