The Septuagint (LXX), from the genealogies, indicates that Methuselah died 14 years after the Flood.
The King James, from the genealogies, indicates that Methuselah died the year of the Flood.
Did Jesus and the apostles quote from the King James?
In what language did Paul write the letters to the Corinthians?
What language was predominant in Corinth?
There are quotations from the Old Testament in the New Testament, right?
Can it be determined from the quotations themselves where they came from? A Greek manuscript as opposed to a Hebrew manuscript?

What sets the Bible above all other religious books is that it is credible. Lots of evidence supporting its claims.
Faith has been defined as a leap in the dark. I don't agree with that. Faith is based on truth. Yes, faith is a reasonable matter.
Abraham had faith. He offered up Isaac. Genesis 21. Why? Because Abraham understood that God would keep His word that Isaac would be heir of the promise made to Abraham in Genesis 12. How or why did Abraham come to the conclusion God would raise up Isaac? See Hebrews 11:17-19. Because God kept His word with Abraham. Here's an example, "Get out thy country...go to land which I will show thee." Genesis 12.
God led Abraham to that land. Abraham had never been there. But God did what He said He would do.
Consider also, John 20:26-31.
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
Don't let the world's definition of faith be the definition of your faith. Otherwise, you could end up believing in the unbelievable!

liars lie.
"Methuselah, who lived 969 years (Genesis 5:27), longer than anyone else recorded. His father was Enoch, of whom it is said he "walked with God" (5:24) but who was taken to heaven without dying at 365 years. Methuselah's son Lamech died a few years before the Flood at 777 years (5:31) after bearing Noah. When Methuselah was born, his godly father must have prophetically known of coming things for his son's name means "when he dies, judgment," and interestingly enough, Methuselah died in the same year God judged the sinful world with the great Flood of Noah's day.

Kodiak! Look what I found!

Dr. Barnett does a very good job of explaining it:
"The Septuagint [LXX] was the first translation of the Hebrew Bible and was made in the third century B.C. by Jewish scribes, who were direct descendents of those trained in Ezra's Great Synagogue of Jerusalem. They were complete experts in the text, being very well versed in Hebrew and Greek.
This translation became very popular among Jews in the first two centuries before Christ because many Jews in those days did not understand Hebrew. Their ancestors had left Israel centuries before, and generation after generation gradually lost the ability to read the Scriptures in Hebrew.
Many of the Jews in Jesus' day used the Septuagint as their Bible. Quite naturally, the early Christians also used the Septuagint in their meetings and for personal reading; and many of the New Testament apostles quoted it when they wrote the Gospels and Epistles in Greek. What is most fascinating is that the order of the books in the Septuagint is the same order in our Bibles today, and not like the Hebrew scrolls....
Jesus and the Apostles studied, memorized, used, quoted, and read most often from the Bible of their day, the Septuagint. Since Matthew wrote primarily to convince the Jews that Jesus of Nazareth was indeed their promised Messiah, it follows as a matter of course that his Gospel is saturated with the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet, when Jesus quotes the Old Testament in Matthew, He uses the Hebrew text only 10% of the time, but the Greek LXX translation 90% of the time!"
