Do you mean to say, that the voice was NOT as clear as Joseph's voice?
I think it's accurate.

Did the vision NOT ebb? Did the voice NOT fade? We all know that the vision ended, and that the voice also ended or ceased. I think that because it is worded in a somewhat vague way, you are saying it is not true. I don't think that is justified by the evidence.

Let me ask this: At what point did Joseph end up on his back?

You cannot tell exactly, when you have many versions that do not all agree. We know which version Joseph finished with, and we accept it as scripture. But that does not mean that Joseph was lying, or mistaken, when he recorded the OTHER versions of the same experience.

I know Joseph had a marvelous First Vision. I am greatful for the various versions of that experience.
