Ancient Biblical Lifespans: Did Adam Live Over 900 Years?

Environment in the pre-flood world was totally different, some theories suggest that the earth didn’t have that “tilt”back then, as a result there was no season, everywhere around the world was warm and fuzzy, even the Antarctic was like Southern California with plenty of forests and vegetation’s, can you imagine that?

Hello, the WORLD the UNIVERSE has BEEN dying since GOD CURSE all creation to death as planned every things is on course for the final destination Death! Do you not have "RAINBOWS" in your corner of the world? All will destroyed by a Divine Decree! the end was created to be DESTROYED The Earth is a victim of destruction!

Have you not read:
…"The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. For thecreation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, inhope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.…"

What's your point? 900+ years of lifespan in the pre-flood world was extraordinarily long, compared to today's 70-80 (Ps. 90:10) on average, but descendants of Adam at that time were still mortal beings. They did pass away even before the flood.
 

Genesis 5


King James Version


5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

For one thing I do not have a point. I am just a mere mortal, less of a value, of a piece of dirt. At this point . dirt has more point than I will ever have, For the very dust I was made of, and how dare of me to have a point, for I am shape by GOD, for His purpose and not mine. I am addressing what is in The Book All is according to His Purposed and HIS destination, For I perceive HIM as "THE GOD ALMIGHTY" and if you do not know what that means, You Need to Pray and read "THE BOOK" that you come to The conclusion who is "SOVEREIGN". And if you do not known what that means in "Theological" terminology , you need to pickup your Unabridged dictionary and exhaust it, Then continue and exhaust "ISBE" then mediate and fast and PRAY and ISOLATED yourself until you get an answer "From GOD",, himself! GOD is The AUTHOR and not a mere piece of dirt and The dirt's opinion, what GOD has done, is doing, and will do, is In GOD and Not The piece of Dirt that speaks.

And what you are talking about is a waste of time and breath:pensive: " and it would be wise to slow your roll, when you rolling with me, For I ain't the one.

Read the BOOk! and STOP cherry picking! Just to make conversation.. Squeeze The grape, within the Vine, Give That which is Holy, by command.

be careful how you walk,:pensive: And what you try to feed., :eyes:

I am not angry, I am not Luke warm:eyes: now guess.
 
We have a problem at looking at our past, God, and the Bible through a flawed lens.
We put limits on God even when we try not to. We put Modernism on a world and people that don't exist anymore.
If by some wild chance I lived back then and was given an order from God to "fill the Earth" then me and a wife would get right on it. Living at least 800+ years from just us two we'd have a lot of kids. A population can double in 20 years. That population can double in less time.
Adam and Eve started it and then their descendents of Noah and his wife, their 3 sons and their wives so 8 people at least would easily have done it.

I did pray and read THE BOOK, and there's one rule of thumb which I adhere to with all my heart, that whenever there's a NUMBER in the bible, it always means LITERALLY and SPECIFICALLY that number. If it says 3.5 years, than it's 3.5 years. If it says 1 day is like 1000 years, than it is 1000 years. If it says 42 generations from Abraham to Adam divided into 3 sets of 14, than it's 42 generations - I've got a thread deleted due to my insistence on this one. And if it says Adam lived 930 years, than he lived 930 years.
Any interpretation that tries to spiritualize it or blur it is from the devil.

Well, be sure of this "GOD" does not live and dwell in "TIME" his son made time. The Father did not make time his son did. So why are we mention it about something once did not exist and a day will come when it will not exist again. so, our ways are not his ways, his thoughts are not like our thoughts, but he does communicate a way we can understand in polluted terms when it pertains to that which is "incomprehensible" to the finite mind.. The finite mind cannot go there, nor even imagine that which is eternal.

Are you sure you have read "THE BOOK" if so how many uninterrupted days did it take and how many times you have done it, "Uninterrupted"
2, 3, 4 days? Notice I did not say studied, I say read it, like A "BOOK" and at the end of the BOOK, you gave a book report and turn in your findings.

For many think, that you read a few pages here and a few pages there and you read what this man said here, and the class you was in here, then skip over here and read a couple verses over there and you done this in 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 years, And so in that many have claim they have read the book, But the devil have trick them into thinking they have read the BOOK! and when you question them :They Grow wild and angry will big Red Horns on top of their heads and start Puffing Smoke out of their ears and nose and have temper fits!~

But I have met some bible teachers, pastors ,minsters that are honest, especially they knowing how I am, have admitted they have not, humbly.
But many and I say many, have lied and claim they have. Pride and not :Godliness, it seems to rule in their lives so much they do not realize they are liars and they feel that their lies are ok, the reason they do stuff like this The whole Book as a story is not in them as such, So yes they are missing something that they feel is not value enough to take on that task,

And these are the people who wants to engage with you fully and they have not engage fully the BOOK, as a whole, in which they think is unnecessary. But they want to engage you into something more powerful than full Contact KARATE, Okinawa style, and they have skipped a whole lot of training and the instructor pass them, because they where complaining how much money they have spend. Many have not spent the many hours of "DISCIPLINE" and they wonder how you can destroy, them within a moment of time at your very whim. "Discipline" and a lot more, much more that the mind cannot conceive in this endeavor. It is not like the "mortal mans" out look. it is totally different , what the "Parakletos" does what you put in you, concerning The BOOK as A WHOLE" but everybody want to prove "tongues" "prophecy", paths of healings, waving your hands and pouring cooking oil over people like they are magical wands and portions with verse spells, people go for that, and they do not need nothing else. "that devil, he is coin"

But that devil he will never suggest to you to read the whole Bible in short sittings, he will give you every excuse not too! And he knows, if he can get you to lie and say you have, he has foothold a stronghold on you, a lie produce more lies and more lying ways. But if you tell the truth and I say I haven't , that Truth will Grow and produce Fruits, unto repentance. and before you know it that righteousness will grow and before you know it, you have started taking on the journey with prayer to read the Book in a short sitting. Truth is honored by GOD with rewards that does not fade away but enters ETERNITY! cars, houses, clothes, vacation trips, do not follow you into ETERNITY!
=======================================================================

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.…"

["The
whole Word of God that you read as a one sitting read , is profitable with rewards that cannot fade away. And the devil is the one that's keep you or anyone from doing it , by his conversations and communication with a persons mind.]

"Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

Note:

Howbeit at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods: but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back again to the weak and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? Ye observe days, and months, and seasons, and years. I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bestowed labor upon you in vain.

And you do know you can have 8 babies in one pregnancies, and maybe 10, since it is GOD"S plan to multiply! you plant the seed, He does the multiplying, Oh you planted every day, GOD and is going to make sure you, the male animals, the mammals, the rabbits, the bugs, the husband of the Black widow spiders, the male "praying Mantis" although the female is going to bite his head off after he breeds her and he knows it. :eyes: GOD makes sure you going to breed! and back then, they had many wives as they wanted. Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubine in his time, and the Bible said, he love all of them! And I heard someone say the Bible do not lie, when it say 3 it means 3.:eyes:

"How many babies do you think he had, he did not reach the age of 80, if can remember. he was a factory!

"King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women. 2These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love. 3He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubinesand his wives turned his heart away."

He was SPILLING Oil, like "EXXON VALDEZ" IN THE OCEAN,


I heard preachers and pastors preach and comment about "
Solomon's marriages where only political arrangements, until I read my WHOLE Bible and view it as a whole! He loved these women and they turn his heart away from GOD and his own children against him and GOD. just like the Bible said that this type of actions would do!:eyes: I do not care how much you love that wife , if she is the wrong one, you turning! [now I'm going to leave that there]
[ask Adam]:eyes: His reply; that woman you gave me:sob:

Then how many promote "The SONGS of SOLOMON", to me at first, I thought it should not be in "The 66 Canon of Scripture" and I did a thread on it here on "Talk Jesus" and by doing so, I came to a conclusion myself after observing all posts relating to the book in question and finally realize that it should be there, and why it should! To keep you from falling into that TRAP! And so you do not desire to walk in any of His Solomon shoes, and "Solomon" made that plainly Known in The Book "Ecclesiastes"! If I did not know The BOOK the Holy Spirit could not bring it to my REMEMBRANCE! the things king SOLOMON said in there, about all of HIS mistakes that he made, and what his conclusion was and what man should do! {To Fear GOD and to Keep His Commandments...ff.

When I hear pastors and ministers , bible teachers, talk about and say such things, I know they have not read the Book in its entirety. [ my history of over 40 years backs all of this up, [1st, few years I could not believe that the majority of christians have not read the whole book] God was trying to enlighten me to this, but I found it to hard to believe]

just listen to them especially if you know The Book! it is like lightening flashing in the night! To you but not them, and they go On and on, they think you are like them and the others they have encountered, those who have not read the whole book in sittings more 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,,etc times! and they have not even done it once. you have done it more than 100 times and you can read the entire book easily in about 3 days. if you are committed. and it is your chief joy!

New King James Version
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

American Standard Version
that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose.

False humility is not humility at all.
 
So true, if GOD does not break you himself, that you may suffer, that is the only true humility! and that is the only way a true child of God can achieve "True humility" you must me Broken by GOD and shamed, by His hand.:pensive:
God is NOT trying to Break you. He is not trying to Shame you He does not want you to suffer.....EVER!
 
God is NOT trying to Break you. He is not trying to Shame you He does not want you to suffer.....EVER!
So true the god of this world do not want any of his children to suffer.

But there is another group:
"It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes".

"I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me."

"Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law"

"Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep Your word."

Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; …

And the god of this world do not want to see you broken and shamed, and here is the reason why, he wants you to be proud and unbroken in heart and not broken so the god of this world will make sure you are not shamed nor broken.
Because he knows:
King James Bible
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
King James Bible
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

This is The God many of us knows and many do not understand; for He Is "SOVEREIGN". and there is no one liken unto him. Neither ever there can or shall be, never it cannot come to pass. or given a Thought. Every thing that happens has BEEN 'decreed and Ordain by Him and Him Along. For there is no other! So the mortal Finite Mind can give it a rest! even entertaining the Thought that another gives Commands and decree what it is to be!:pensive:

…"so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other. I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things."

[And the Buck, stops with me]:eyes: who is "The LORD".
