1¶And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3¶And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Why do you think God limited man to 120 years?

To limit sin.

A trade-off to separate us from Angels.
They got immortality, we got Free Will.
Each is jealous of the other's gift.

That is very plausible.

It was the number of years until the flood
Not a lifetime span

Some think this refers to lifespan, but clearly some individuals still lived longer than 120 years. More likely and fitting with the context of evil that God was about to judge, He would give mankind 120 more years to repent.

Possibly a foretelling, but time is absent in literature, unless specifically stated.

It’s about the nephilim and the fallen angels.

Shitty nutrition and disease pretty much guaranteed that.

Why did you remove the vowel from God? Just curious.

Angels have free will. See Satan and his 1/3rd of them.

God gave women the ability to have multiple orgasms
He gave men the ability to piss standing up
Each side is jealous of the other

Cos dem mugs used to live to be 800 years before the flood. God decided to walk that back.

I think it is a Jewish thing. Jewish people don’t write out the full word.

This led to the fathers ordering the women to cover up and why the Muslims still do this today.

There's never been a credible case of any human living to 121 years or longer.
