Easy to Believe
Genesis 6:3 is the verse that applies to us, but this is the verse that most Christians use concerning lifespan.
Ironically, this verse doesn't apply to us at all. Seventy to eighty years was the cap God put on the children of Israel when they refused to go into the promised land. They wandered in the wilderness until every person over the age of twenty died off. Hence, seventy to eighty years.
So why do we believe this verse and not Genesis 6:3? It's easier to believe for eighty years than one hundred twenty. It requires little to no faith to live eighty years. To go for the more of God requires sticking in there and believing His word.
