Should i take The Bible literally? Should i believe that men lived to be 900 years old? [Spirituality & Religion]

The Bible is neither a history book or a science book! It is a collection of powerful spiritual experiences, among the Hebrew people and the followers of Jesus Christ. Those experiences are shared with us to show the strength of their faith, and to call us to a way of faithful living that can give ultimate meaning to our lives. Let history and science teach us all they can - they are not concerned with spiritual life.
