genesis 5:1-6 - this is the book of the generations of adam. in the day that god created man, in the likess of god made he him;
male and femaile created he them; and called their name adam, in the day when they were created. and adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image, and called his name seth. seth were eight hundred years and he begat sons and daughters: and all the years that adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
and seth lived an hundred and five years.
ok, so it says adam lived 130 years and he lived 930 years. and seth lived 105 yrs and 912 yrs (gen 5:8). hopefully, those who believe man lived to be nearly 1000 yrs. back then see the contradiction here. as explained in gen. 5:2, adam also refers to the family line, much like surnames. so to say the men such as adam lived to be 930 years or more, in my understanding, is a misunderstanding of the bible. what do you think?
