		<description>I have my doubts about attributing misspeaking to Paul. That response has been offered here and in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.errancy.com/did-pauls-companions-fall-to-the-ground/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;other problem&lt;/a&gt; regarding Paul&#039;s own account of what happened on the road to Damascus. It is one thing to say that Stephen misspoke. There are mistakes in Stephen&#039;s monologue, two of which have been singled out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.errancy.com/how-old-was-abraham-when-he-left-haran/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.errancy.com/who-bought-the-tomb-in-which-joseph-was-laid/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. These do not present a problem for inerrancy.

It is quite another thing to say that Paul misspoke.

Paul had apostolic authority. Luke&#039;s writings are included in the cannon largely &lt;em&gt;because of his association with Paul&lt;/em&gt;. So it&#039;s odd to say that Luke correctly reports Paul&#039;s conversion and correctly reports Paul&#039;s own incorrect rendition of that conversion. I think this is one place where indirect speech reported by Scripture must be harmonized with the direct testimony of Scripture.

I suppose that this is a long-winded way of voting for the second inerrantist response above.</description>

		<description>The response based on ambiguity in ακουω looks like it might have legs.

Matthew 13:13 is relevant here: &quot;The reason I speak to them in parables is that &#039;seeing they do not perceive, and hearing they do not listen, nor do they understand.&#039;&quot; [NRSV]

In the phrase &quot;hearing they do not listen&quot;, the verb ακουω is used twice, but the NRSV has used two different English verbs to reflect the fact that it&#039;s being used in two different ways.

This gives support to the idea that ακουω has a sufficient range of meaning that hearing is something that you can both do and not do at the same time.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t it possible to say that Paul simply makes a mistake here, and the Bible accurately reports it?</description>
