Where does the Bible say that God promises us to live to 120?

Answer 1

Actually, according to The Bible, when God first created Adam and Eve here on earth, they were supposed to live FOREVER.(Genesis 2:15-17) If they had never touched that tree, they'd still be alive today, right here on earth. As mankind grew further from perfection, their lives grew shorter.

*Adam lived 930 years(Genesis 5:5)

*Seth lived 912 years (Genesis 5:8)

*Mahalalel lived 895 years(Genesis 5:17)

*Methuselah lived longer than any human so far at 969 years (Genesis 5:27)

*Noah was 600 when the flood came (Genesis 7:6) and he lived to 950 (Genesis 9:29)

By the time *Abraham came along, his life span was 175 years (Genesis 25:7)

*Isaac lived 180 years (Genesis 35:28)

*Moses died at 120 years, but he was especially strong and "his eye had not grown dim, and his vital strength had not fled." (Deuteronomy 34:7) Moses wrote the Psalm that indicated that by that time, the majority of people were living 70 or 80 years(Psalm 90:10) like today.

Because of Adam's sin, mankind dies (Romans 5:12), but God holds out the hope of EVERLASTING life, as originally purposed, for those who take the time to learn about him and his son(John 17:3), accept Jesus' ransom sacrifice and become obedient to God.(John 3:16)(Matthew 7:21-23)
