1 | Acts 9:7 and Acts 22:9 contradict each o | Acts | John Reformed | 94478 | ||
Acts 9:7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Acts 22:9 "And those who were with me saw the light, to be sure, but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me. Dear Joyful333 I don't see any real contradiction between these 2 verses. Paul's fellow travellers saw the light but did not see Jesus or anyone else in the light. They heard voice, but did not understand what the voice (of Christ) was saying. It is apparent that Paul alone was given the grace to both see Christ and to understand what He said. I think a paralell can be drawn between this event and the preaching of the gospel. The light of the gospel shines on many people, but only some (by the means of God's grace) will see Christ and understand the gospel's spiritual truth Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
