Is It Scriptural That Man Can Only Live For 70years? by Nobody: 7:17pm On Aug 23, 2013
It is common saying that it is written in the bible for man to live only 70years, anything above this age is a special grace. People often say this without backing it up with the passage in the bible. We need to be enlightened, please where is it written in the bible?

The scripture you are looking for is
Psalm 90 vs 10  "The days of our years are threescore years and ten (seventy years)--or even, if by reason of strength, fourscore years (eighty years); yet is their pride [in additional years] only labor and sorrow, for it is soon gone, and we fly away."

I think it is just a reflection of David's opinion and not that of God

The highest years man can live on earth is (120 years)

" And the Lord said, my spirit shall not always striff with man, for that he also is flesh. Yet his days shall be hundred and twenty years (Genesis 6:3) "

This supersedes David's opinion of 70yrs since this is from God Himself. If 120yrs is the maximum age limit for man, we hear of people who spent over this age so what could be the reason for this?
