Bible Question:
In Genisis 6 it states man will be given a maximum of 120 years to live on this planet. As this was stated in the Genisis time frame . Why did man live longer than 120 years? Etc. Moses Noah and on and on. I know how many days,munites and nano sectons is in 120 years that is not the answer some joker responded to my first message. When this joker is 89 years old I wish to see him perfect in word and speech. |
Bible Answer: I am not sure if this is the answer, but I think it could be the way I understand the thing. I am not a scholar, and am constantly learning, and being corrected. With that said ...compare this verse in Genesis with 1 Peter 3:20-who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. NASB Let that sink in for a minute..."during the construction of the ark." Noah did not build this thing in a day or two, it took time! Maybe it took 120 years. I mean, imagine it. These people had never seen rain before. God in His mercy was giving them some time to see He was not happy and something BIG was about to happen. I thank and praise Him He gives us time. I am even more thankful we can use the time to study His word together in this forum. Remeber, this question does not depend on your salvation, and I am sure there may be someone who can give you a more sound answer than I. (you and me both a more sound answer) It is a good question...made me use my noggin! In His Service, Cuddle |
