Your main problem here is that if you take the word "year" to mean "year", your book falls apart.

So every time the Bible uses the word year, it doesn't mean year? So the longest lifespan in the OT isn't 931 years, but X, with X some value known only to God? Is that it? So maybe 931=70?

The reason your beliefs are subject to ridicule is that they are ridiculous.

And that Bible- -isn't it supposed to have been written for man, to guide and educate him? And in spite of that intention, it is written using a secret dictionary that no man has? Is that it?

This whole discussion of what "year" means is a red herring. The passages I'm referring to in the NT don't speak of years; they say Christ will return while people alive in the 1st century are still alive. Can you produce anyone alive now who was alive in 99AD?

And an answer like "Christ is still alive" doesn't do it because the passages don't refer to him; they refer to other people.
