When was the earth created, if there are plant and animal fossils that are millions of years old? For instance: Bacterial creatures were discovered, and are estimated to be approximately 3,5 billion years old. A dinosaur fossil was found, dating back more than 180 million years. To get an answer to this, one must go to the original text of the Old Testament, and take a holistic view. Read more about these discoveries in the book THE ORIGIN OF LIFE to confirm that the Bible is an authentic Book. God is a reality not to be ignored!
Were there other people before Adam and Eve on the earth? What about the images of human beings dating back 100,000 years and more? There are also works of art, older than 27,000 years, for instance the image of Venus Brassempouy. It was discovered in 1892, near Brassempouy in France. THE ORIGIN OF LIFE refers to the aforementioned discoveries and so much more.
Different Biblical Scriptures mention that spirit beings reigned the earth prior to human beings. Were there in fact two creations or dispensations? Find these answers in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.
Is there a possibility that creation will be faced with extinction some time in the future? In THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, the authors give an interesting explanation of extinctions during the past, discovered by scientists.
We read in Genesis 1 that God created man, then in Genesis 2 that God formed (moulded) man out of the earth. How is this to be understood? The book THE ORIGIN OF LIFE deals extensively with God as a Spirit Being. Unbelievers find this difficult to understand, but it actually forms the starting point of the creation.
How must one interpret the dimension of time as proclaimed in Genesis 1&2, if the Bible makes the supposition that it took God six days to complete His creation? On the other hand, some scientists discovered and confirm that the firmament for instance is 13,73 billion years old. To get a clear answer to this, one must go to the original Hebrew text of the Old Testament. The Hebrew version makes a clear distinction between, as the author call it, the two “Bara Creations” and the two “Yatsar Formations.” If one understands this, it is possible that the universe can be billions of years old! One needs to take a holistic view of the Bible as the inspired Word of God. It in no way contradicts science. In fact, scientific discoveries underline the uniqueness of the Bible. Read more in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.
Why is it mentioned twice in Genesis that God created light (Genesis 1:3 and verse 14)?

This would excite every Christian, as Christian faith is unique. Read THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.
Does the Bible support the notion of Dr. Edwin Hubble, after whom the space telescope was named, that the firmament is still developing outwards? Yes, for sure! According to the Hebrew text, it is still busy expanding day after day. There are different Biblical verses in the original Hebrew text that the authors came across to confirm this statement. Read more in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE about the creating power of the spoken Word of God. Illustrative calculations to describe the enormity of the firmament make it more simple and practical.
The original Hebrew text made statements as long as 3,500 YEARS ago, which scientists can claim today as authentic! This interesting subject is comprehensively dealt with in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, without compromising the truth. The Bible makes for example mention of:
The roundness of the earth (One statement in the Bible was made about 1500 years ago) – a confirmation that the Bible is an authentic source.
The sun is moving in its own orbit (First statement in this regard made about 3,015 to 3,085 years ago!) – This is not speculative information in the Bible. Another proof that it is authentic. Read more in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE to discover it yourself, and get the necessary confirmation on this subject.
Day and night the same time on earth (Statement made about 60 A.D. versus natural science’s discovery during the 16th century) – a fascinating explanation in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. Science confirms again that the Bible is an authentic source.
The multitude of stars (Statement made between 2,586 and
2,626 years ago versus the invention of the telescope by Galileo in 1608!).
Again an amazing
announcement made in the Bible to proof its credibility, and
authenticity. Read the very interesting explanation in
THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. In addition, discover more
information according to the Word of God.
The sea has very deep valleys and canyons. This statement was made between 3,015 and 3,085 years ago. Scientists’ discoveries made during the 20th century, confirm it. More information will be found in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, to emphasize that the Bible is an authentic source from God. It is definitely not out-dated!
A Statement was made about 3,500 years ago that there are fountains (springs) in the Ocean. Discoveries during the 1970’s confirm it. A very, very interesting explanation is made from the original Hebrew text in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE!! A recommendation that every one must read it, really to understand that the Bible is largely an underestimated source.
The recycling of water. This statement was made about 2,970 years ago, versus scientific discovery during the time of Galileo in the 17th century.
There are also other scientific confirmations discussed in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. The conclusion to be made is: it is impossible that all these discoveries and evidences are fortuitously. One must bear in mind that the Bible was written by more than forty authors under the inspiration of a living God over a period of 1600 years. That makes the Bible so unique, and therefore authentic. To read the Bible is really a journey full of discoveries, and revelations.
PROPHECIES AND THE BIBLE.
The purpose of this subject in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE is to present to the reader, sound and clear evidence that the Bible is in fact the immutable and undeniable Word of God that created and is still busy creating life. One of the greatest sources lending to the accuracy to the Bible’s claims of divine inspiration, is the fulfilment of Bible prophecy. A vast majority of all the Biblical prophecies have already been fulfilled. This is the only book that has accurate prophecies. To confirm this, the authors take the reader on a short journey in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE through the Old Testament to look for instance at fifty five prophecies made over a period of 1500 years in connection to the coming and ministry of the great Messiah, Jesus Christ. It is not derivations made, but facts to confirm that the Bible is undoubtedly authentic.
Let the reader experience in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE
meticulous the living Word is put together with Divine love. It is impossible
for about 40 writers over a period of 1600 years to put information together in
a format of the Bible. Incredible evidence of how thorough the message of God is
written is the astonishing prophetic truths found in the genealogies of Genesis
chapters 5, 10, 11 and Matthew 1. There are in total 78 names. The authors
translated every one from the language of origin –Hebrew, Chaldee, Old Arabic,
Armenian, Greek etc. Read more about this astonishing and revealing message in
THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. It is an amazing
discovery every
one must read – even the sceptics. After this, there cannot be any doubt about
the Bible. It must be the true authentic Word of the living God.
The reader of THE ORIGIN OF LIFE will definitely appreciate and
honour the Bible as the written Word of God.
THE BIBLE AS THE LIVING WORD, THE SOURCE OF LIFE.
God is so inseparably bound to His Word, that He introduces His Son, Jesus Christ as His Word (John 1:1 – 5). As it was written over such a long period, one would expect it to cover divergent topics. This is in fact not so. What makes the Bible so remarkable and unique is that it deals with one central theme that is woven like a golden threat through all the Books.
Most of the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew.
Chris Mostert, one of the authors of THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, shares a few thoughts
from a different perspective to affirm how marvellously the Bible, as the Word
of God, was knitted together. The first five books of the Old Testament are
known as the Pentateuch. The Jews call it the Torah, when translated from
Hebrew, The Law. When Israel departed from Egypt, the aforementioned was the
Word of God they received in the Sinai desert. The total number of men (Israel)
that left Egypt was 600,000. These men acted on the Word of God and moved out of
Egypt. It is recorded in Exodus 12:37. If one adds up all the Hebrew letters
from Genesis to Deuteronomy, you come to the same number 600,000! When one
writes the words: “There are 600,000 letters in the Torah”, in Hebrew, it looks
as follows: לתורה אותיות רברוא
ששים יש < < < One read this in Hebrew from right
to left. The first letter of every Hebrew word is printed bigger and underlined
for this explanation only. Again, it is written from right to left. These
letters now spell the word: ישראל (JISRAEL), translated as Israel, nation of God! To summarize,
we can say that all those who acted on the Word (Torah) of God, was Israel, the
nation of God! Is it not amazing? No man – not even Moses could have calculated
this. God expressed His hidden blessing out of the Hebrew language over His
people. To experience God’s blessings they had to conscientiously walk according
to His Word. If one also reads the other important discoveries,
teachings and explanations in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE, one comes to the
conclusion that the Bible could not have been inspired by man alone!! The real
Author could only have been a living God from whom the inspiration and guidance
emanated. Read more about these remarkable discoveries made in
THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. The most stunning, underlying Divine truth is
concealed in the original Hebrew and Aramaic language of the Old Testament.
Undoubtedly, the Bible is a Divine inspirational source and authentic!
GOD, THE GIVER OF LIFE AND DIVINE HEALING.
Can Divine healing and miracles still manifest? Amazing testimonies and undisputed evidences in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE confirm unconditionally that God is still the Source of life, and therefore, can for instance recreate organs. He still proclaims His Name as Yahweh Ropheka – the Lord your Healer (Exodus 15:26)! Read more in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE about the four kinds of Divine healings, and the notion “life” according to the Greek New Testament – simplified in THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. The Bible makes a clear distinction between natural life and spiritual life!
A thought to ponder: After God created man, who spoke first, and in which language? According to Genesis 1:28 God the Creator spoke first! The authors believe that Hebrew was the language birthed on the tongue of God. It is a beautiful, “picturesque” language.
The authors want to introduce you to some of these astonishing discoveries
made from the Bible, and amazing truths about the ever-existing God as Creator
and His creation. May this book, THE ORIGIN OF LIFE give every
reader a new meaning and appreciation for the Bible as the living Word of God
our Creator. It is a God-given privilege that we through THE ORIGIN OF
LIFE can confirm that the Bible is authentic.
Chris and Louise Mostert met each other as students at the University of Stellenbosch, R.S.A. They studied theology and natural science respectively. After completing their studies in 1974, they as pastoral couple started ministering in the Dutch Reformed Church in Cedarville and Sundra. From 1983, they were involved at the Apostolic Faith Mission in South Africa. They also developed ministries in Boksburg, Franschhoek, Rustenburg, and are currently busy in Mitchell’s Plain, Cape Town. Whilst developing churches, Louise completed her Bible School Training at Christian City, her Higher Diploma in Education, and her Honours Degree in Psychology at the University of South Africa. Because of their broad interdenominational background, they gained invaluable experience in Church Growth and Scripture based research. The Lord guided them to compile some of this information in a book THE ORIGIN OF LIFE. Their prayer is that this book would be a blessing to readers, and that the light of God’s Word will illuminate their paths. New books, such as “The Purpose of Life”, “The Final Extinction”, etc. will be available in the near future.
BOOK REVIEWS
THE ORIGIN OF LIFE discloses some of the hidden secrets of the Kingdom through God’s infinite knowledge revealed in His Word. The two creations and the meaning behind it to me were awesome. – Marlon Matheyse
The way in which Pastor Chris refers to the original languages, namely, Hebrew and Greek is astounding. He managed to explain very difficult grammatical explanations in such a manner that every one can understand it. Hebrew is truly the perfect language that God placed on the tongue of man. – Joseph Spawn
I found the book very descriptive especially statements that are supported by the Scriptures. This influenced my perspective about God’s Word. I realised how amazing God is. This book brought that Wow factor to the fore. This is what people are looking for. – Jacques Jacobson
To me the most significant revolutionary truth from the book pertains to God as the source of light and His creation of light.. – Nick Smit
THE ORIGIN OF LIFE revealed the fact
that God can use people as instruments to enhance spiritual renewal, especially
those experiencing low ebb (spiritually or otherwise). God is the greatest
counsellor and through Him, people get salvation and redemption. The book also
revealed that the Lord rewards good deeds and He expects people always to turn
to Him, in happiness or in grief. He will never forsake us. –
