Peace be with you dear sir, i believe you missed GOD's point in the Holy Bible, taught by the Helper, the HOLY SPIRIT.

What if GOD say to you and me who think they are wise to the things of the world and continuing ignorantly, like this as written in Luke 12;20:

"Fool! This night your soul in required of you, ........................................."

Genesis 6;3, Then LORD said;

"My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years."

In the Holy Bible, even Pagan kings lives were decided by GOD. One example is in Daniel 5;23end and 30 and it is written like this;

vs.23end - "........................................, but the GOD in whose hand is you breath, and whose are all your ways, you have not honored."

vs.30 - "That very night, Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed."


In order to remain and continue as Kingdom sound doctrine knowledge taught wise people, please do not let yourselves bewitched and to genetically engineer GOD's Word. Please do not make crooked, the straight path the LORD JESUS CHRIST has made.

Sorry, but as co-laborer in the Kingdom of GOD, for CHRIST and the Holy Bible, by the Help of the HOLY SPIRIT, i had to confess this in humble and humility as a friend in order for believers to stay awake and be alert of deceptions. i am too not at all surprised, the correspond from a still gifted cartoon character who group up with people who are clever to mix drinks and get drunk and influence others.

May GOD the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST , forgive and bless you with HIS kindness and peace.

Do you mean by "believe" speculation?

Because 'ages' are provided for only certain men (not women), and these are not necessarily in chronological order.

The only 'order' that they would need to be in, is the directive that the ones mentioned thus called upon the NAME Yahweh.

That leaves a lot that most likely did not...






I don't see anything silly here. How could there be death without sin?

When Adam and Eve ate, plants died.

Job also informs the reader that animals died BEFORE mankind arrived onto the scene.





How do you know that death existed since the very beginning? Such a POV requires life to have existed since the very beginning. Since none of us was around at the very beginning, I would hesitate to dogmatize about it too much.

Was you dere?

Entropy has been in effect ever since the Universe came into existence.

This inherently implies disorder, death, and decay as a natural law of physics.

Well Jakob, you've had the wisdom of most theologians on the conservative side, the only one I saw missing was the liberal viewpoint, that it was a myth, a folk tale. There are no myths in the Bible, but there are many parables, but this is NOT a parable. the key is the hebrew word for "year," the original meaning of the word is "to return around here" meaning a cycle, a full circle. Before the flood, it had a meaning that meant "lifetime" not year. So Methuselah did not live just 969 years, but 969 lifetimes, each lifetime for ease of computation, of a 100 years each, when the 100 years were up, Methuselah, would lie down, go to sleep, God would remove his soul, combust his old body and place him in the womb of his new mother, to live again, and he would still be Methuselah he would remember everything he had ever done, and as soon as he got where he could take care of himself, he just picked up where he was when God took him back then, God took everyone. the only thing unusual about Enoch, was that he didn't return like everybody else did. That's because Enoch became Noah. Check the birth of Noah, it happened right after Enoch was taken. God didn't really punish them by shortening their lives, they still lived 70 to a hundred years, God just sealed their memories. They had to begin again from scratch, everything was new. God had some real problems with allowing them to retain their memories, if they had had a problem with someone, the problem returned when they did. That is why God is remaking us into the spiritual image of Jesus, before He can return to allowing us to retain our memories. Nobody forgave anyone, all hate, grudges, prejudices, etc. returned with their memories. Once we have been remade in the spiritual image of Jesus, everything will be forgiven, so God can return our memories that we still retain since the beginning of time, and all of the old wounds will be forgiven, not forgotten, just forgiven.
