Does the Bible has a loophole? In the book of Genesis 6: 3 God said, "i will not allow people to live forever; they are mortal....120 yrs man shall live" As a Theologian, i began to reflect on this biblical injuction. But little did I know that the Psalmist has a mind-blowing injuction too. It spells it out in Ch.90:10. "Seventy years is all we have..." then stresses on the consequences of the attainment of eighty yrs. It says, "eighty years if we are strong. Yet all they bring us is trouble and sorrow" Then I ask, does the bible contradgict itself? Because, i have seen people who had (have) lived above 150 to 170 years. Your views please.

Perhaps David was a lil drunk as usual b4 he said that

Go and study about "life expectancies" during various phases in history! If that is what is making you lose sleep, you can join african traditional religion! It doesn't look like you are filled with so much to be wanted by a religion!
