One of them is the almighty Methuselah who lived 969 years before he left the mother earth.

My paternal grandfather was 144 years old when he reportedly died. (I say "reportedly," because there was no body, and no grave.) That means that he was 117 when my father was born.

There was a region in Russia- the Caucasus Mountains where super-centenary ageing was routine- but I am sure that my forefathers used Juju Sorcery to extend their lifespans.

About 3,000 years ago, there were a race called the TOLTECS, whose Sorcerers had techniques of Longevity that involved RESETTING their Chronological Ageing repeatedly, so that, when they got intolerably old, they made themselves young again.

RECREATIONAL SEX IS THE KEY: if you indulge in it, you WON'T be able to achieve it. The only OYINBO to be granted access to the LAST TOLTEC ON EARTH- who escaped from Heavenly Imprisonment, where all of his colleagues ended up (i.e. going to Heaven is not what Christians think it is!) and hid out on Earth, only exposing his presence in 1723- met him around 1973, and was given the Key to their Spiritual Legacy.

Following his Oyinbo Training, he disrupted the Ritual that enabled the Toltec Survivor to prolong his Existence, and got him killed.

HE REFUSED to heed cautions his master gave him- including CELIBACY and PRIVACY, and became a Womanizer and a Celebrity- WASTED his Powers and DIED IGNOMINIOUSLY.

There are a LOT of things going on on Earth that NOBODY bothers to clear with you.

There is a BIOLOGICAL basis for IMMORTALITY.

Were you ever intelligent enough to wonder WHY creatures DIE of AGEING at all? Maybe. But not enough to FIND OUT WHY WE AGE.

If you had investigated THAT, you would not be talking so foolishly.

By our 50th year, Humans develop a GLITCH in our Nuclei, that kills us from there on in.

Apparently, the ANCIENTS did not have that "glitch."

Times have really changed.

You cant compare the physical fitness of ppl in the bible ...even 18th century ppl to the fitness of ppl today.

People develop according to their physical environment.

If your environment is hard, your body & spirit will be hardened.

Minus the savage wars....

.You'll definitely live longer.

Actually, we live comparatively longer than people in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries and so on. Why? Lots of them didn't even survive infancy. Read about a lot of kings and emperors and you'll find that many of them had lots of siblings that all died, usually from disease. Simply put, they couldn't cure what they were afflicted with - and it killed them. Illnesses we take for granted now like malaria, typhoid, even chicken pox and measles ensured that lots of kids did not make it to their teenage years. Even amongst those that did, others still succumbed to other illnesses. We have found cures to a lot of these illnesses which is why we now take it for granted that a child that is born would at least live to middle age. Forget all those that say people are dying a lot earlier now - people are actually living much longer than they would have - which is why there are more people to put pressure on earth's limited resources.

is this to say you believe in evolution?

and how do you reconcile that with the fact that the human being has only started living longer on the average?

No I don't, it carries the same basis for belief as any other extraordinary claim, faith..if faith makes this possible then buddha would by faith also have really sat under a tree meditating for a century(or some years I can't remember)

The story real, and if you study the bible, the bible speaks for itself. the long years of methuselah was not natural. Let me explain, methuselah came to the world as destruction, Because of the evil in the world in that generation, God was going to destrue the world by a flood and methuselah was the sing for the flood. As a matter of fact his name METHUSELAH means : "AFTER HIS DEATH THE FLOOD SHALL COME" so if methuselah had died at the age of 20 the flood would have come that year, But because of the mercy of God he preserve methuselah because he didn't want men to die, he was still hoping men will respond to the preaching of Noah and repent and be saved. But they refused to harken to the preaching to be saved, so the only thing God could do in his patience and mercy was to prevent methuselah from dying, Because if methuselah should close his eyes in death the flood would come.

1 Peter 3:20
20 [The souls of those] who long before in the days of Noah had been disobedient, [b]when God’s patience [/b]waited during the building of the ark in which a few [people], actually eight in number, were saved through water.


That was why methuselah grew so old to the extent that the child he gave bath to became old and died as an old man, methuselah buried his own child and still couldn't die, finally God could't take it anymore and he allowed methuselah to die at age of 969 years, at the death of methuselah the rain and flood came, Noah who was methuselah grandson at this time was 500 years old, this is much i can say for now if you have anymore question you can ask. Concerning The issue of calendar, every culture have their way of calculating years . Hebrew, Egyptian, Igbo Yoruba etc. The issue of the leap year is smal and insignificant

Maybe you have forgotten that his father was Enoch, the guy who skipped death and entered into the realm of El Shaddai. For him to live that long, he has learned some secrets to living which we have lost.
