Author | Topic: Why, if god limited man's life to 120 years, did people live longer? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
John Inactive Member |
quote: As joz points out, funk, only a few names were of people born before the flood. If you look at the list I gave, you'll notice that it is a genealogy, and that the Bible gives conception dates as YEARS AFTER THE FLOOD. Secondly, I stopped listing not because I ran out of names but becuase I figured six or seven names were enough. After all, ONE contrary example proves that god didn't stick to the 120 years threat. Gen 11:20-21 Rue 437 Gen 11:22-23 Serug 230 Gen 11:24-25 Nahor 148 Gen 11:32 Terah 205 Gen 23:1 Sarah 127 Gen 25:7 Abraham 175 Gen 25:17 Ishmael 137 Gen 35:28 Isaac 180 Gen 47:28 Jacob 147 Ex. 6:16 Levi 137 Ex. 6:18 Kohath 133 Ex. 6:20 Amram 137 Were all of these people born before the flood, funk? ------------------

THREE POINTS OF INTEREST:1) The New World Translation 1984 says: My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.
2) The Authorized Version 1954 says: My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh; yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 3) Neither of these examples or your five, John, say what the Stickman's Bible says re: ...I will not allow people to LIVE FOR EVER...

Sorry I don't really see any implications John. Man ceased to live 600-900 years. I thought that's what that verse was about.

quote: ummmm.... right. And the example I provided show lifespans of longer than that.
quote: Isn't this the same point as above?
quote: Why is this relevant? The point is that God sets an age limit of 120 and in the next breath violates it. ------------------

To me there is no implication. Science allows anomolys, without changing it's theories because of a few acceptions to a common rule. God still maintained his word in that man ceased to live for 800-900 yrs, and actually tends to live a whole lot less than 120 yrs. This is a weak argument, (imo).
------------------Saved by an incredible Grace. [This message has been edited by funkmasterfreaky, 12-16-2002]

God limits the lifespan of those who have inherited Adamic sin. Do you know what that is?
