<h1><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong><span data-mce-mark="1"><span style="color: #993366;">Inconsistency in Paul's Accounts of Jesus' Appearance To Him</span> </span></strong></span></h1>
|
|
<h2><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #3366ff;" data-mce-mark="1"><strong><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">The Main Contradiction in Paul's Accounts of Jesus' Appearance</span></strong></span></h2>
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">Paul claimed Jesus was present on the road to Damascus so that others could hear and see the same light coming from Jesus as Paul saw and heard. Isn’t this the story told in Acts three times that Paul obviously used to persuade others that he was somehow special even if Jesus did not use the word apostle? Is there something in this account that casts doubt on Paul’s story? Yes, and Luke faithfully left it for all to see, even as conservative proponents of Paul concede.</span></p>
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">For Paul in one account claims that his companions did not see anyone but <em><strong>heard</strong></em> (Gk. akouo root verb) the voice (<a href="http://biblehub.com/text/acts/9-7.htm">Acts 9:7</a> - see Greek Tab), but in the other account, it is directly contrary: they <em><strong>saw the ligh</strong></em>t but did <em><strong>not hear the voice</strong></em>. (<a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/22-9.htm">Acts 22:9</a> ekousin, from akouo.) Same Greek verb. Same form of the sentence. In one version, his companions hear the voice, but in the other version, his companions do not hear the voice.</span></p>
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"></span><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;"> Roberts, a Baptist scholar who authored a Greek commentary entitled Roberts Word Pictures, concedes the apparent “discrepancy.” However, he says it just goes to show how accurate Luke was trying to be.</span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">“It is one of the evidences of the genuineness of this report of Paul's speech that Luke <em><strong>did not try to smooth out apparent discrepancies</strong></em> in details between the words of Paul and his own record already in chapter 9.” Roberts <em>Word Pictures</em> Acts 22:9.</span></p>
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">But what about this leaving Paul in a flat contradiction?</span></p>
|
|
<p><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The inventiveness of the human mind, however, can find ‘loopholes’ to rationalize even a flat contradiction.</span></p>
|
|
<p><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Roberts suggests that instead of it being a “flat contradiction” it could be one time it means they heard the voice and in the other account they heard the voice but did not understand what they heard.</span></p>
|
|
<p style="margin-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">“[I]instead of this being <strong><em>a flat contradiction</em></strong> of what Luke says in 9:7 it is natural to take it is being likewise... a distinction between the 'sound' and the separate words spoken.” Roberts <em>Word Pictures</em> Acts 9:7.</span></p>
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">This is simply evasion. It is not a "natural" reading, but a forced one. So you will read in the NIV for <a href="http://biblehub.com/acts/22-9.htm">Acts 22:9</a> another protect-Paul-by-inconsistent translation example -- "they did not understand the voice...."</span></p>
|
|
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The plain truth is the Greek words are identical on the hearing issue. One time they did not hear (Gr. akouo) the voice and the other they did hear (Gk. akouo) the voice. That’s a flat contradiction. Had it meant what Roberts suggests, other words would be used. They simply were not.</span></p>
|
|
<p><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">No one has ever suggested the reason for this contradiction is an errant manuscript.</span><strong style="font-size: 18pt; background-color: transparent;"> Study Notes</strong></p>

Saul alone fell to the ground; those with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one; Saul was without sight for three days; Ananias was a disciple who laid hands on Saul to restore his sight and fill him with the Holy Spirit.</span></p>

<p><br /><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Everyone fell to the ground; the voice spoke in the Hebrew Language; no blindness, no Ananias, no baptism, no restoration of sight, no “filled by the Holy Spirit”!</span></p>

Two of them are similar, <strong>Acts 9:1-18, 22:1-15 </strong>(except the part about him being sent to the Gentiles, <strong>22:21</strong>), but not the third account, <strong>Acts 26:10-19</strong>. In the first two stories, Paul specifically asked the Lord what he should do and the Lord told him to go to Damascus where he would be told all things. In the third story, however, Paul received full revelation on the spot. <em>Which one is it Paul? </em>Paul is caught in a <em>lie</em> (there will be more).</span></p>
