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.

The difference between the two is found in these words.... "A" and "THE." In the former the men with Paul did, indeed, hear "a" voice, but they did not hear "the" voice of God. Different, yet the same thing, actually, only the former advises that they did not distinguish "a" voice which they heard as being that voice of "the" Lord. That's the way I see it, but as others have stated, it really doesn't change the main point, which is, Paul heard "the" voice of Jesus.
