The World Health Organisation has data sheet of the life expectancy of every country.    Don't know how to exactly frame this question, but i will try.  Is it that science can extend the life of men , or it it the genes of man that has the heredity passed on. Where is God in this equation ?.

I would suspect a lot of the life expectency, has more to do with the level of health care, access to good food and water, etc then it does genes.

Thanks gentlemen for the replies.  So just to clarify, each country is give a rating of each man and woman average expected life span.  Some countries has better health care, food ,shelter ect as patriot rightly outlined and we know that for a fact.  Genes may play a small role as for example in the case of heart disease.   So then if a man knows these facts, is it not logical for him to think to try and move to a country where he can live longer life. 

See where i am trying to get at from a world point of view.  A christian believes in his bible and what God said about life and death.  But a man looking from the outside is seeing facts and therefore is putting his faith on science and the ability of man to better his life and the things he can do. 

Some may even say that God is not fair in allowing the rich and powerful more life than him who is destitute and miserable.  And why the promiscuous nations are allowed to prosper with long life and good health.

How are christians to show this man that the God of the bible is true to all and loves all equally.  see why had difficulty asking this question.

God is always in the equation, since He alone determines the lifespan of each and every creature.

You will note as you go through Scripture that the life span of humans before the Flood was close to 1,000 years, and then gradually reduced to less than 100 years thereafter.  We are told that it is generally 70 years to 80 years, but could go beyond 100 years.

There are many factors which affect longevity, and while genes have some impact, lifestyles, diets, location on the planet, pollution, and stress levels all have a bearing. The oldest living person attributes her longevity to two eggs a day.

I know plenty of rich folks who died young, and poor folks who lived long lives.

I think all three can have an effect on the length of life....       one of the promises of the old covenant was a long life.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
