Isaiah 53:10b When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see [His] seed, He shall prolong [His] days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see the labor of His soul, [and] be satisfied.
"J'ai été oubliée par le Bon Dieu!" ("I have been forgotten by the Good Lord!")
It sounds like you're trying to say that faith in Jesus can make your life longer. Is that what you're trying to say? Please, give us some actual comments in your own words rather than a bare Bible quote - it helps everyone figure out exactly what you're saying.
Assuming that IS your point...you said just a few posts ago that "no one has lived over 120 years since Noah." I take it you're retracting that statement?
Also...most people
don't live remotely close to 120, even if they are Christians, so it doesnt seem apparent to me that your above reference could possibly be speaking about the previously set 120-year limit to human lifespans. I think your argument is flimsy at best.
Jeanne Calment, the 122-year-old woman, attributed her longevity to "olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food and rubbed into her skin." See
here. Wouldn't someone who had made "His soul an offering for sin," have mentioned God when asked a question like that? The French quote at the end of your post was by Jeanne, but the vast majority of people who make similar statements don't even live to 100, let alone 120. Is God so capricious as to allow his most devout followers to die at an average age in the 70s, but occasionally allow a single, random believer to live past his imposed life limit?
Is it not a fact that the average lifespan in a given area tends to increase with better medical care, and has nothing to do with the religion of the population?
Is it not a fact that when extremely devout Christians eschew medical technology and care in favor of "faith healing," they tend to die, and not God does not in fact "prolong [their] days"?
Most importantly, "prolonging his days" doesn't have anything to do with the lifespan limit previously set. It sounds to me like it refers to living more of the potential 120 years (which Ill give you just for the sake of the argument, despite the fact that I find the claim that Christians live longer than non-Christians as implied in your quote to be absurd).
The fact is, the Bible says God limited the human lifespan to 120 years.
The fact is, it has been verified beyond doubt that people can and
have lived beyond that limit.
It is therefor a fact that the Bible cannot be inerrant when it states that the human lifespan is limited to 120 years.
