1 | Why is life expectancy for Americans low | Gen 6:3 | Edd | 133602 | ||
"Please read what it actually says to avoid reading into it what one may wish it to mean." Gen 5:32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Gen 6:3 Then the Lord said, My Spirit shall not forever dwell and strive with man, for he also is flesh; but his days shall yet be 120 years. Gen 7:6 Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth or land. Gen 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood 350 years And do a little math because it’s an exact science. |

2 | Why is life expectancy for Americans low | Gen 6:3 | following him | 133609 | ||
If God limited the life span of men to 120 years, and this restiction came before the flood, how is it that those after the flood lived to well over 120 years. Shem - 602 Arpachshad - 438 Selah - 433 Eber - 464 Peleg - 239 Reu - 239 Serug - 230 Nahor - 148 Terah - 205 Abraham - 175 Issac - 180 Jacob - 140 All of these men except Shem were born after the flood. So it appears that perhaps God was not talking about the life span of man when He mantioned the 120 years. If He did, then why did these all live so much longer. |

I don't know the mind of God or why he allowed these men to live long lives: life is according to God's purpose, but I did read the book of Jonah and saw his experience when he thought he knew the mind of God. Perhaps your views on this subject conflicts with Moses Prayer in Psalm 90: 7-12, maybe these scriptures can assist you. |
