2 | alloted days to live | Eccl 3:2 | Maearl | 168784 | ||
I just read several commentaries that said basically the same idea, so it comes down to one's interpretation. Maybe its possible that God meant both the length of years that a man should live and the length that he gave man to repent (and Noah had to build the ark), although I dont mean to sound so syncretic in my interpretations, I just want to make sure that I am not believing in a traditional reading of the text simply because thats how it has always been read, nor do I want to read into the text my own opinion simply to overturn all of the Biblical exegesis that has come before me. Although I could see someone argue that our limit of years should be 969 because that is how long Methuselah lived, I don't think this is how we should determine our longevity. It's obvious that a human body could not sustain phsyically that long, and even if modern science would allow us to, I am not sure if there is another passage that could possibly mention God's wishes for our longevity. Maybe I am wrong, (Or we are both right?) although I just recently heard a guest speaker say "We were made to last 120 years..." which I took indirectly as a reference to Genesis 6:3 and it wasnt even in a religious environment. I find this topic interesting because I am very much in favor of what humanitarian efforts modern science can do for fighting diseases, I wonder sometimes where we draw the line between respecting the temple of God (in this case, our bodies) and when we are worshipping it? I am in support of modern scientific research (as long as it doesnt take or harm someone else's life for the benefit of others) but where do we draw the line? Just a thought. God Bless, Maearl. | ||||||
