1 | why did they live past 120 years? | Gen 6:3 | godsclay | 83052 | ||
This bible verse (Gen 6:3) is stating that human beings shall only live to be 120 years, correct? Meaning God set the "age-limit" at 120 years. So how do you explain Shigechiyo Izumi (120 years 237 days), and Jeanne Louise Calment (122 years 164 days)? Both lived past the "age-limit". Does what God said just not mean anything; did these people really not live this long? I would greatly appreciate any help on this topic. |

2 | why did they live past 120 years? | Gen 6:3 | Hank | 83055 | ||
The strongest probability is that the 120 years did not refer to human lifespan but to the span of time until the Flood. God gave man this time, a grace period in a sense, in which to respond to the clear warning that God's Spirit would not always be patient. This view is corroborated by 1 Peter 3:20. .... You ask, "Does what God said just not mean anything?" It means everything to me, friend. What about you? Take a lesson from this passage. What God said about the Flood didn't mean anything to the people in Noah's time and look what happened to them. If Noah and his family had also thought that what God said didn't mean anything, you wouldn't be here today asking, "Does what God said just not mean anything?" Think about it. --Hank | ||||||
