In the bible it says that no man will live past 120 yrs old yet someone has is the bible FAKE or what?
The oldest person ever whose age was authenticated, according to Guinness, was a woman named Jeanne Louise Calment, who lived to 122 years and 164 days. She was born in France on Feb. 21, 1875, and died at a nursing home in Arles in southern France on Aug. 4, 1997. ------------------ According to the Bible, God promises every human being 120 years of life. This extraordinary promise is recorded in Genesis 6:3, which reads as follows: “And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh, yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.†Most of us have been led to believe what is written in Psalm 90:10, i.e., “The days of our years are three-score and ten...†(70 years). But this verse is a prayer of Moses, whereas in Genesis 6:3, God is speaking... Therefore, Genesis 6:3 exceeds Psalms 90:10 in terms of reference. This means that when God’s laws of eating and right living are obeyed, a human lifespan of 120 years is guaranteed...

When you got to the part about a talking snake, you probably could have guessed it was fake and stopped reading.

Just a word of advice , don't get legalistic. It is not a big deal.Two or three years over 120 is not an abomination.
4 :
no the bible is not fake but sometimes there are unexplained miracles
5 :
That's tough to say. I'm not sure if I'd call being alive at 122 really living though.

The verse is from Genesis 6, "And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days..." (Genesis 6:3-4) But if you will notice the context, God was speaking to the pre-flood people, who were growing increasingly wicked. The context demands that God was speaking to the wicked people of the time. After the flood, many things changed. Even righteous Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lived longer than 120 years. The difference is in the purging of the earth by the flood.

Just one of many contradictions in the bible. There are some people mentioned in the bible who are supposed to have lived for hundreds of years. The christians have seen the contradictions before and it can be quite amusing listening to them trying to explain why they are not contradictory.
10 :
i am not sure how to interpret that, ut if you read further noah and a lot of people after that lived very long ages. they lived way longer that 120 years. maybe it meant that on the average people will not live that long.
11 :
this is yet another reason why i am an atheist. the bible has faults, as does everything in life, so why do people make such a big deal out of following everything it says?
12 :
Read it in context. That applied only to the Nephilim - The hybrid children of man and angels. The Bible then immediately speaks of Noah who lived, what, 450 years? You people read one verse and think you're smart. You're embarassing yourself.
