If Gen. 6:3 isn't life span. What's your perspective on when God changed our lifespan? Explain Gen. 5:32 ( Noah 500 yrs old, had three son's) and Gen. 7:6 ( Noah was 600 yrs old when flood waters came ). Thanks for any help offered. | ||||||

There are no direct answers to your question, only speculation. This is one of those questions like who did Cain take for a wife. We are commanded not to argue over vain genealogies that onyl lead to endless disputes. As for your question though, the most accepted answer to it, with out Biblical proof, is this. Before the flood there had not been mention of any rain. There was no mention of bacteria, or the results of it till after the flood. Noah drank some nice grape juice that he had made. The only problem was it became what we call fermented from the bacteria that was now present all over the World due to the flood. The bacteria must have been isolated till that time. Hence the spread of germs and mans life span goes down. This problem will go away when Jesus set up His Kingdom on Earth during the 1000 year Millenium. As a result mans life span is said to go back up. Praise The Lord again!! CDBJ |

Just a comment :) I hope I do not offend you if I make light of the subject of Noah and his wine? Since I have drank grape juice and have also tasted grape "wine", I find it hard to believe that Noah wouldn't have known the difference between a pre-Flood grape juice and after-Flood wine. I think it more probable that "wine" was also produced pre-Flood and Noah knew what he was raising those grapes for. And it wasn't just to make raisins! :) The "wine" Noah made comes from "yayin", an unused root meaning to effervesce; wine (as fermented). I suggest that he knew what would happen when he "stored" the grape juice in wineskins (?) long enough to have it smell funny. Seriously though, it's possible from a Biblical standpoint to think bacteria was not around pre-Flood because the Bible doesn't mention it. But bacteria would have needed to be present pre-Flood just as it is today. Some bacteria causes diseases, but others are necessary for fermentation, nitrogen fixation, etc. Using that last example, all life requires nitrogen, but most forms can't use it in its gaseous form. It is converted to nitrate compounds before certain plants use it to make protein. Unless I have forgotten my biology, that is called nitrogen fixation -- the conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates by soil bacteria. It would also take bacteria to "decay" fallen leaves, over-ripe fruit, etc. for their nutrients to go back into the soil, and to decompose other types of waste, etc. Pre-Flood, the earth would have been a disaster without certain bacteria present. The soil would have been dead, and there would be a carpet of un-decayed vegetation I'm afraid. There |
