MY REPLY TO PAUL

Yes, it is true that God had put out the minimum number of years for man to live but at the same time, it doesn’t mean the maximum number of years one is to live. Standing on God’s Word definitely should be our proposition. However, while I do not disagree with the Word of God or going by the Word, I am coming also from the angle of God’s Word that offers an abundant life even through our Saviour Jesus Christ ( John 10:10) which none of the old testament saints had.

Therefore, seeing or appreciating the truth about the old testament account for men who were not yet redeemed from the curse of the law which obviously shortened their life span; we must use the understanding of the type of life and covenant of long life we have in Christ to affect our days on earth (hence no minimum or maximum but what we believe for even with God). I believe that we can affect how long we live on earth; by our faith declaration, healthy lifestyle (our choices) and our believe. We should not just see that there’s a minimum number of years one can live but be focused on the possibilities of getting to a very ripe old age. So we have the right to speak life or death. To prolong our days or not.
