Indeed, that's strange. Still, the rest event is presented completely accurately the second time (both passages in context
Funny. People concetrate on whether the men heard the voice or not and do not see that at least Paul did
hear it. Seems far more important to me. Anyway, I'm gonna contribute my two cents, although I don't see this as a "major contradiction that debunks the Bible" or something.Acts 9:7And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.Acts 22:9And those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they did not hear the voice of Him who spoke to me.
Did the men hear a
voice? Some random sound that close to a voice?
Did Paul hear the
? A voice that was clearly speaking to him?
That might be the difference. If they could hear the voice clearly, wouldn't they also fall on their knees and confess?
