Originally posted by RJHindsblimey, 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?
I am not saying that the average age of death is around 35. I was saying that Christ died on the cross at the age of 35 years, which is in the middle of the expected lifespan of 70 announced in the Holy Bible by the Psalmist.
Originally posted by stellspalfieWhat is the expected lifespan today? Would you say the Psalmist is pretty close?

depends where you live it fluctuates massively. the global average is around 67. im not sure what the pslamist say.
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.
(Psalm 90:10 NKJV)

Originally posted by stellspalfieJesus 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.
the author of the psalm you quoted.
Originally posted by RJHindsthe average life span now is totally different to the days of jesus.

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.
