4.) "Therefore, as we put the two statements together, we find that Paul’s companions heard the Voice as a sound (somewhat like the crowd who heard the sound of the Father talking to the Son in John 12:28, but perceived it only as thunder); but they did not (like Paul) hear the message that it articulated.”

Gleason Archer, Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties, p. 382

If you would have addressed this material instead of posting Greek without making a point, thus spamming, you would not be blocked

3.) "Greek makes a distinction between hearing a sound as a noise (in which case the verb “to hear” takes the genitive case) and hearing a voice as a thought-conveying message (in which case it takes the accusative)."

2.) "Acts 9:7 states: ‘But the men who were journeying with Paul were standing speechless, hearing the Voice (akouontes men tes phones), but beholding no one.’ In Acts 22:9, on the other hand, we are told, ‘And those who were with me beheld the light, but they did not hear the Voice [ten de phonen ouk ekousan] of the one who was talking to me.’ In the original Greek, however, there is no real contradiction between these two statements."

@HOCnews Yes. Paul met the Apostles and their pupils as well. In fact, the 1st and 2nd century data shows that Paul had a great relationship working with the original Apostles. Muhammad, however, never met Jesus, the Apostles, or the early Christians. He was too busy foaming at the mouth being scared he was possessed.

The three personal testimonies versed by Paul as recorded in 'Acts' internally contradict. Galatians 1 contradicts Acts 9 per argumentum ex silentio concerning Paul's purported rendezvous to Arabia. 1 Corinthians 15:8 may be an attempted recounting of Paul's supposed conversion experience.

[KeithTruth]

@EarthlasthopeEXPOSED Here is what you were supposed to address from my blog instead of foolishly posting all the Greek without making a point:

1.) "“An apparent contradiction arises between the first account of Paul’s conversion on the Damascus Road (Acts 9:7) and the second account (Acts 22:9) in regard to Paul’s companions. Did they hear the Voice from heaven or did they not?.."

@EarthlasthopeEXPOSED Since you're a troll spammer who didn't have recourse to my blog and read about why I mentioned the Greek and Dr. Archer, but instead posted all the Greek without making a point making yourself look like a fool, you can enjoy the ban.

@EarthlasthopeEXPOSED I made a blog post days ago proving that the 3 Acts accounts do not contradict regarding who heard the Voice. Only people who are ignorant of Greek say it contradicts today. Refute my blog post if you can where I quote Dr. Gleason Archer's treatment on this. Acts 9 doesn't contradict Galatians 1 since it doesn't say he didn't go to Arabia and it leaves room open between vv. 19 and 20 for it. Learn what 'contradicts' means and show me 5 accounts for Muhammad seeing Gabriel

[KeithTruth]

@EarthlasthopeEXPOSED According to Acts 9:3-8, Acts 22:6-10, Acts 26:12-18, Galatians 1:15-16, and 1 Corinthians 15:8 yes Paul met Jesus. This meets the criterion of early accounts and multiple independent attestation. Can you show me this kind of early evidence and historical reports for Muhammad meeting Gabriel? I gave you 5 early accounts from 3 separate documents in the 1st century. Show me 5 accounts for Muhammad meeting Gabriel in the 1st century after Muhammad.

@KeithTruth said: "Paul met the Apostles and their pupils as well."

So, Paul met Jesus?

Great teaching in defense of the faith. Notable scholars, like Gresham Machen, have spoken in defense of Paul and have brought out great points to prove the authenticity of Paul's teachings as it relates to Christianity. It is becoming more apparent that some of these truthseekers, in defense of their beliefs, spend more time misquoting the Bible or referring to alleged "reliable sources that a well seasoned scholar can refute with creditable sources.
