Live Forever

The Bible foretells of infinite longevity.

Deuteronomy 11

[21] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

 

The Hebrew word ‘heaven’ in the above verse is used in the Bible to describe the sky, stars and planets. xvii

Most stars live between 1 billion and 10 billion years old while some live to 13.8 years. xviii

However, if stars and planets are made of ‘matter’ a fundamental law of physics states that matter does not disappear but merely changes into a different form such as rock to dust or liquid to gas. xix As such, it seems indeed possible to live forever.

England from the 16th to 18th century had life expectancies of 33-40 years of age. Today, life expectancy in developed countries has more than doubled. xx

“"life extensionists", "immortalists" or "longevists" (those who wish to achieve longer lives themselves), believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation, stem cells, regenerative medicine, molecular repair, gene therapy, pharmaceuticals, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans.” xxi

See Isaiah 65:20: "Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
