Well the oldest man was Methusaleh, but his father (Enoch) was "taken up" and therefore never died... Originally posted by DesertBerean
Elijah was taken up as well, so I dunno if you could say that Enoch was the oldest man who ever lived, with Elijah in mind it would be a tie, surely.
The OP should come put us out of our misery

Indeed Methuselah is the oldest man recorded to have lived. He lived 969 years. (Genesis 4:18.) Believed to have died the year of the flood.
Enoch was Methuselah's father, Methuselah being born when Enoch was said to be 65 years of age.
Now Enoch lived to 365 years until God took him, because he walked with God. So Enoch never died. (Methuselah being 300 at the time.) (Genesis 5:22-24. Hebrews 11:5.)
So the answer is "Enoch," which is Methuselah's father's name.Truth originates with God.
