How can Acts 9:7 be harmonized with chapter 22:9?

Words in all languages are used in different senses. The word rendered hear is frequently used for understand. In John 12:28, 29, a similar case is recorded. The people thought "that it thundered," while to Jesus it was an audible voice. In the case of Saul, he heard and understood the voice; those who were with him heard a sound, but not the words spoken. In one sense they heard the voice; in another sense they did not hear it. Greenfield, Pickering, and Robinson, give these two definitions to the word.

To O. J. B. We will soon publish something on 2 Cor. 3:7.

To A. S. Any one who is so wedded to his ways as to contend that the resurrection was on Monday, rather than to yield to the truth, cannot be benefited by anything we can say.

To W. T. H. We cannot see anything in Jer. 51:39 which needs to be explained. "A perpetual sleep, and not wake," must be the same as an "eternal death."

To W. E. P. See Wesley's "Dialogue with an Antinomian," commenced in this week's paper. We sent you a card to Upper Lake.
