Zone1 did Adam live for 930 years and Noah for 950 years?

[Zebra]

or does this just mean ... a long time?

 

[Woodznutz]

Such longevity was a great way to kickstart civilization.

 

[MarcATL]

They lived that long.

I don't believe that, I think Adam lived for 943! The numbers are off!

 

[Zebra]

i think the numbers just mean .... many years ....

 

[MarcATL]

What are you basing that on?

 

[Meister]

What are you basing that on?

The 12 month year began in 45BC

 

[Zebra]

What are you basing that on?

Wait, your munificent "god" has the ability to let people live for near a thousand years and he's gonna cut you off at somewhere around 1/10th of that?

I'd be pissed.

No worries. Most people are ready to exit long before they reach 100. However, we could live longer if we took better care of our health.

Can't have love without free will.

Nah, Dude. People who take better care of themselves barely make it to 1/10th of that span.

"free will"?

We are talking lifespan here.

Adam and Eve had free will.

They chose to disobey God in the garden and that sin corrupted the perfect universe God created.

Genesis 2​

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Methuselah was a dirty old man.

Actually, the universe was corrupted by the rebellion of Lucifer. The garden of Eden was a small throwback of the earth when God first created it for the angels. That Lucifer/Satan was present reflects (his/her/its) authority at that time. Genesis 1 records the renewal of the surface of the earth, fit for the humans that would reestablish a relationship with God for the eventual purpose of restoring the once glorious spiritual kingdom of God.

Still not on the topic.

Why do you deflect instead of answering?

I would have to disagree.

If the Earth and everything was already corrupted why did God say they would die if they eat from the Tree of knowledge of good and evil.

They had the potential of living forever.

I answered, you just don't like the answer.
