I was wondering if anybody here is over 100 years old or knows anyone who is over 100 or lived to 120 years.

As that is what is said in the Bible how many years a man shall live for. Is it possible in this day and age to live a full life in the flesh on earth for 120 years?

The only man I recall to do this in the Bible was Moses.

Huh nobody?

or nobody really wants to live to 120 years?
I think it would be kinda cool to live a long life and just die in your sleep at the end of 120 years. I'd live to see the dawn of the 22nd century.

And then in the resurrection live forever. Or maybe the resurrection will just happen in 120 years time and wont have to be asleep that long.

It is written a man will live three score and ten years, four score by virtue.

what, when did that change. I was going by Genesis 6:3
Did God reduce our lifespan by 40 years?

King James Bible
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Did God reduce our lifespan by 40 years?
Gen 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Gen 6:10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Gen 6:13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Gen 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Gen 7:6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

It could mean that God gave the world 120 years until He flooded the earth.

The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Actually or prophectic?

The only man I recall to do this in the Bible was Moses.
Even then, on the day God told Moses that he would die he was in sound mind and physically fit. It is possible for someone to live to be 120 years old but seems to be biblically impossible to live even 1 day beyond that for that is the boundary set by God.

Most folks in my youth and youger adulthood were familiar with the number score, though it was not used da lot.

Yes, Abraham Lincoln did. Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth a new nation. Now you may recit more if you are of a mind to do it.

you are mixing up Bible verses and putting them out of order....

Noah was the last man on earth to live longer than 120 years am supposing that his sons and wives did not live for hundreds of years like he did

Actually In Genesis 11 Noahs son Shems descendents some of them lived for over 400 years....

Only till we get to Nahor (119 years) and Terah (70 years) though Terah lived until he was 205.

So Sarah wasnt that even really that old when she had Isaac.

Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran and 99 years old when he and Ishamael were circumcised, And Sarah was 90 when she had Isaac..but now the bible is saying they were old and well stricken with age.

Even though Terah was living until his second century...?!

Sarah lived until 127 years and Abraham 175 years.

Isaac was 180 years when he gave up the ghost.

When this person dies the cause of death will probably be listed as Covid 19.
why do you say that
People can die of all sorts of things not just covid-19.
Dont pronounce a cause of death on someone you dont even know!

ok Noah was 500 years old when he had his three sons, and it said he was 600 years old when the flood began. So what happened to the other twenty years?

I believe that the death stats for this virus have been padded somewhat. Guy has an auto accident, dies in the hospital from his injuries and if he happened to have covid at the time his death would be attributed to the virus. Same holds true for anyone who died in a hospital. Regardless of what they actually died from, if they happen to be carrying the virus then the death was attributed to Covid 19. Now, this is not true in all cases but it has happened quite a bit, at least in the US. The stats cannot be trusted in regards to accuracy.
