Did people live to be 900 years old?

In religious texts like the Bible, there are accounts of people living to be extremely old, such as Methuselah who reportedly lived 969 years. However, these accounts are considered symbolic or metaphorical rather than literal. Scientifically, humans do not live to be 900 years old due to biological limitations.


How did polytheism develop?

In the days of Seth (son of Adam) people began to make a grave mistake. They theorized that since God is so great and almighty, it would be impossible to worship Him directly but rather one must worship His subsidiaries. They therefore began to worship the sun, moon, and constellations. This led to worship of the elements and eventually people began to believe that these things were actually gods. So there you have it-polytheism actually started from a strong belief in an Almighty monotheistic God. Ironic?


Did Abraham worship God?

It is uncertain whether or not Abram (Abraham) originally worshipped several gods; the people of area where he lived (the Fertile Crescent) believed in many gods. One indication that perhaps Abraham acknowledged the existence of numerous gods (but did not necessarily worship them) is in the story of God asking him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac (Genesis 22:1-14). Abraham did not argue, but took Isaac to be sacrificed. It is likely that he was prepared to do such a thing because it was not uncommon for people of that time and place to sacrifice the first born son to a particular god as a sign of ultimate trust; this is because a man might never have any other sons to carry on the family name. The point of the story of Isaac is that Yahweh (means: I am who am) did not want, or need, the sacrifice of children as a sign of respect; Yahweh was not like the other gods known to Abraham. What is certain from the Book of Genesis is that Abraham came to worship God alone, and even came to feel close enough to Him that he would bargain for the sparing of Sodom (Genesis 18:16-33) and came to see all his blessing as having come from God (Genesis 24:33)
