    blimey, you are making this hard work. if 70 is the expected lifespan then that is the age that most people will reach other wise it wouldnt be expected. as the overwhelming majority of people didnt make it past 50, 70 was not the expected lifespan. do you understand?

    What is the expected lifespan today? Would you say the Psalmist is pretty close?

    I quoted it on the previous page, but i will repeat it to you again.

    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.
    Who knows the power of Your anger?
    For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
    So teach us to number our days,
    That we may gain a heart of wisdom.

    so are you asking if they are close to the average today? you seemed to be suggesting they were talking about the age of jesus.

    Jesus said that the scriptures speak of Him. So even though the Psalmist may have been referring to his on present time, I believe it could also relate to the time of Jesus, just like many of the other psalms are believed to do by Biblical scholars.

    Do you deliberately sit down at the computer
    with a Bible on your lap?

    I don't have anything else when I open my laptop.
    What is this constant urge to quote the Bible over
    the internet all the time? Is it a disease with you guys?
    I used to think it was only Americans who did it but to
    my amazement a lot of Brits do it too.

    Funny, Ireland was, and still is to a great extent a religious
    country but we don't go around quoting Bible verses all day.

    it saves him having to explain his understanding in his own words and potentially getting it wrong.

    It depends on how the statistics are gathered and calculated. Determining life spans is not an exact science for mankind. Only God is truly accurate. 😏

    You sinners need to hear God's word because this lifetime is likely to be all the time you have to make the decision to choose life over death.

    You Bible thumpers have been saying that
    for hundreds and hundreds of years. One
    day you'll get it right.
