Matthew Stuckey here from Verity Baptist Manila and I want to make a quick video answering
a supposed contradiction in the Bible.
Now often times skeptics and people that mock the Bible will talk about the story of Paul
on the road to Damascus when he was Saul and they'll say well these are different accounts,
different stories.
And the big argument they try to use here is in Acts 9-7 and Acts 22-9 because in Acts
9-7 what it says is this, and the men which journeyed with him, talk about the people
that journeyed with Saul, stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no man.
So in Acts 9-7 it says they heard a voice but they saw no man.
Well in Acts 22 verse 9 what the Bible reads is this, and they that were with me saw indeed
the light and were afraid, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
So first off it says in Acts 9-7 that they saw no man and in Acts 22-9 it says they saw
the light.
So that's not a contradiction because neither one does it say that they saw a man, it just
says they saw a light in Acts 22.
But the big one they try to do is whether or not they heard a voice or not.
Because in Acts 9-7 what it says is hearing a voice.
Now if the Bible says hearing a voice it's very clear they heard a voice, right?
But in Acts 22-9 it says they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
Now how do we answer this?
Because in Acts 9 it says they didn't hear a voice and in Acts 22 it says they heard
not the voice of him that spake to me.
But look, Saul was having a dialogue and so there was two people speaking.
They heard a voice but they didn't hear the voice of the person that spoke to Saul.
Whose voice did they hear?
They heard the voice of Saul.
Because they heard a voice but not the voice of the one that spake to Saul.
So whose voice did they hear?
They heard the voice of Saul.
That's not a contradiction at all.
They heard a voice but it was the voice of Saul.
So anyways, I hope that was a blessing.
Thank you and God bless.
God bless.
