The Ages in Genesis

That is Old Covenant. In the New Covenant more is granted.

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me SHALL NEVER DIE. Believest thou this?
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?


22 Jesus saith unto him, IF I WILL THAT HE TARRY till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, IF I WILL THAT HE TARRY till I come, what is that to thee?

Those words of Jesus indicate that in the New Covenant, if a Christian really believes he won't die, then he won't. Also it is possible for a man to live from the first century until Jesus comes back, if He wills Him to.

 

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

They were allowed to eat of every tree of the garden except one.
They ate of the tree of life until they sinned. After that they were not allowed to eat of it anymore so that they would eventually die of old age.

 

Aging is cause by:
Oxidation products in the cells converting to free radicals by background radiation. The free radicals cause cell damage which slows the funcions of the cells and the cell divisions down. Slower cell divisions causes more cells to die than are being regenerated. Causing aging.
Antioxidant vitamins, megadoses, can clean the oxidation products out fast enough so that the cells are not damaged and the cell divisions continue to be at a fast level. So no aging.-- Calcium need for bones and teeth to regenerate.
Clean colon also helps. More sleep for more Human growth harmone helps.

 

Overwork, not enough sleep, no vitamin supplements will cause premature aging and an early death.
Robert Ripley, of Ripley's believe it or not, burned out that way. When in his 40s the doctor told him he had the body of an 80 year old. He died in his 40s.

 

Truth will first be ridiculed, then violently opposed, and finally accepted as self-evident; A. Schopenhauer 1788-1860

"It is the responsibility of scientists never to suppress knowledge, no matter how awkward that knowledge is, no matter how much it may bother those in power. We are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible and which are not."
--Carl Sagan, in a 1991 commencement address at UCLA

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance!"
--Albert Einstein

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation."
--Herbert Spencer

 

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

That statement is true as long as it does not contradict any other scripture in the New Testament.

John 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

All of that is in the context of physical death.

So, apparently no one recorded in the scriptures really believed he would not die. So what. That does not negate the truth, according to the Words of Jesus, that if a real Christian did believe it, then he would not die.
That also does not negate what Jesus said about willing someone to tarry from the first century till He returns.

According to scripture, a real Christian is only limited by what he is willing to believe, conscerning what is possible to happen to him; so long as it does not contradict any other scripture of the New Testament.

Ecclesiastes 6:6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

And because of those words it could have been a possibility for the old covenant as well.

That verse about 3 score years and 10 is in general. Not in every case; obviously.

 

What you got seems to be doubt. Go and read what Jesus said again.

Go to a book store or a health food store and buy a book on slowing down aging with nutrition. There are several of them. There are people around the world megadosing on vitamins to slow down aging. There is a volume of research done on this subject already. A vitamin combination works much better than a single one. Very large doses of cetain vitamins, work better still. [Too much vitamin A or D can kill you.]
I saw a woman on TV at a vitamin conference or show, and she was in her 50s and was young like her 30s. I am not the only one doing this. But, I think I started doing it at an earlier age and probably pushed it further than anyone else.
The ones that are using human growth harmone to slow down aging are not doing it as well as they think. That is like a quick fix, and not a cure. It also has serious side effects like unwanted bone growth (giantism) and acromagaly; Giant face. If they stop taking the HGH, they get older by the same years they got younger rapidly.
HGH works on the harmone level. Antioxidants work on the cellular level.
