Why Herbalists Live Longer than ChristiansThe answer is quite straight forward. Look at the temptation of Jesus in Matthew.
After Jesus's baptism...
----------
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
----------
So, people live by every word of God. God spoke the whole universe into existence. So, the words that come from the mouth of God are the physics of the universe. This means that whoever uses the physics of the universe better, will live better and longer. A stupid Christian can easily die faster than a smart unbeliever.
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the fast in the wilderness. Even He did not step outside the words of His Father.

----------
Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
----------
Did the angels feed Jesus? The idea is that they took care of His needs. So, Jesus received nourishment from them somehow. That means the angels brought food to Jesus... wherever they got it from. It also means that the words that proceed out of the mouth of God are far greater and extensive than we imagine. We are just scratching the surface of understanding the physics of the universe.
Now, go to Matthew 17:20.
----------
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
----------
This shows that having faith in God opens any doors to everything.
Matthew 7:7 and following shows that Jesus invites us to have anything we want by having faith in Him. He did the work in His temptation, and won it all for us.
----------
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
“Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”
----------
There is no limit to what anybody can receive. Jesus opened it all to us. But we might have to learn a lot of the physics of the universe if we want to do it without faith in Jesus-God.
