Those are the scriptures that were brought out to me as the Spirit was teaching me about not letting the bible become my idol. Which it was at one point, I used to think the bible was God before I received the Holy Spirit! But not any longer, I understand now that without the Spirit to bring revelation, life, and interpretation to the written word of God, the letters written remain only words on the page.
If you take those scriptures about the conversion of Paul exactly as they are written there is a contradiction, who was correct, Luke who wrote Acts? Or Paul who had the experience and was there?
There is definitely an inconsistancy in the written text about Paul's conversion.
