I was asked why do people live for shorter ammounts of years than before the flood with Noah and his family.

Why didn't the long years of life continue until today?

Because the earth was changed? Or because God didn't want us to be alive for hundreds of years anymore?

What do you think?

, the reason men gradually lived shorter lives was because men got farther and farther away from the time that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of life which put the life of God in them.

After Adam and Eve were banned from the garden of Eden, at first the glory life from the garden still lived in the descendants of Adam and Eve, until gradually by Terah’s time, man lived to be 127 years old, Abraham still managed 175 and the miracle child Isaac of Abraham and Sarah lived to be 180. But Joseph in Egypt died at 110.

By King David’s time, the body was all-natural and that was good for 70 or 80 years from that time on.

But even now, Jews are very smart, because of their Edenic start.

In summary, the farther man got away from the glory in the garden of Eden, that glory lasted till about King David's 70 or 80 by reason of our natural strength only now.

God bless, BORN AGAIN

I agree, however nowadays than ever man is slowly removing the things that replaces the oxygen level here on earth. It is a proven fact that cancer occurs when a good cell doesn't receive the oxygen it needs therefore the cell divides prematurely causing a cell to grow wild. Because of sin, DISEASE abounds on earth. NATURE (unlike what GOD had intended ) DO NOT coexist with man on man's terms but on terms of opposition.

If we continue to remove the vegetation on earth (trees are included in this), man will have caused the animals to be nutrient deprived causing them to behave agressively. This has nothing to do with evolution, it has to do with man's selfish desire to live forever, at the cost of everything around them.

Evolution is an evil, twisted theory, that mocks God and His word.

We don't live as long, because pestelance thrives in record numberss. Occassionaly you hear of a person living well into their first century of life. My grandfather was a 121 years of age when he died in 1972. I have seen on TV of a Peruvian lady living to be 136 years of age.

Being of this- GOD STILL CONTROLS LIFE- HE IS THE GIVER OF IT, THEREFORE, HE IS THE REMOVER OF IT!

GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS THAT HE LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A FRIEND.
