God All in All Home Page

My name is Willien Strutz and I want to speak about... CHRISTIANITY OF A DIFFERENT KIND one where no one is ever condemned This is a website with good news not only for Christians, but for ALL MANKIND It has a message of hope, of joy and of personal freedom. Because I’m a Bible-believing Christian, and because I believe that God is the A and the Ω, I feel it is appropriate to use the following verse as an opening line... “seeing that out of Him and through Him and for Him is all: to Him be the glory for the eons! Amen!” Romans 11:36 (Concordant Literal New Testament) Random questions like the following will be addressed... • If God is a God of love, then why is there so much pain and suffering in the world? • What is the significance of suffering and why is it inevitable? • Why do people hurt each other so badly? • Is there hope for mankind at all? • Why was I born? • Why are people emotionally, verbally, physically, or sexually abused? • Why do people hurt other people...especially those they love...or those who love them? • What is the meaning of life on earth? • A victim of any kind needs our deep compassion...but what about the perpetrator...is he/she not entitled to that too? • Homosexuality and lesbianism – If we (especially Christians) understand its origins and why people become gay, won’t we have much more compassion towards those people and stop judging them? • Is there life beyond the grave? • Will I go to heaven? • Does one go to heaven if one commits suicide? • Is there a hell of fire and brimstone? • Is God really going to annihilate six billion of His people? • Why are there so many religions? • Can one believe the Bible and why? • Why are there so many translations and did God really inspire The Bible? • Why are there so many ‘contradictions’ in the Word? Are they really contradictions at all? • Why is there so much bloodshed in the Old Testament when God is a God of love? • Why is my child mentally/physically handicapped? • Why am I mentally/physically handicapped? • What’s the meaning of depression? • What’s the meaning of illness...is it really illness, or is it in actual fact a sign of healing? • If the doctor tells me I have only so long to live, or that my illness is incurable...do I have to believe him/her and lose hope...or is there another way of complete cure? • Why is cancer a death sentence to so many people, is this ‘verdict’ justified and what role does fear play in all this? • What’s the real truth (or lie) behind conventional medicine? • Can I solely rely on God for my healing? • Is there a devil, and if there is...then who is he and why is he there and does God love him? • What does the Sovereignty of God really mean? • WHO is to blame for misfortune? • What does the word “evil” mean and what is its significance? • Does labelling people (especially in the diagnostic arena) really bring anything, besides pain and suffering? • Do we really have free will? • Do we really have freedom of choice? • Isn't God's timing already worked out in His perfect Plan and can God be surprised at all? • Does God really love me for who I am? • No one else has my finger prints...is this the reason for my very unique being here on earth? • What is absolute truth and what is relative truth? • If we say that God is omnipresent and a God of love, then it goes without saying that He will be present in the ‘everlasting hell’ too - if it will exist at all? • Why is the Bible still the most read Book in the world (3.9 billion copies)? • Why is there so much division amongst Christians regarding the Bible? • How can we reconcile a God of wrath with a God of love? • Who was responsible for translating the words "hades", "sheol" and "gehenna" from the original text into the one word "hell" in our modern Bibles and what is the real reason? • If the original Greek text uses the word "aion" (a definite time period), then why did modern translators change it into the eternal "forever"? • What are the odds that whatever I believe in is not by my doing, but by God's doing? • Am I accountable for my deeds and what is behind them? • Is there such a thing as predestination, and if so, what does it really mean? • Is Jesus Christ the living God? • Why can I, no matter what my skin colour (or race) is, fully identify myself with Jesus Christ...Who is always portrayed as being white? Is His skin colour of any importance at all...in terms of His redemptive act on the cross? • Is it at all possible to experience God as a warm and loving personal Father, One whom I can turn to at any time...and how will that change my life? • What is this "peace that surpasses all understanding" the Bible talks about...does it really exist and how can I experience it? • What is the significance of having God as a heavenly Father in my personal life? • What does God really mean when He says "I am a jealous God" and what is the significance of that in my own life towards joy and wholeness? • How do I know if the doctrine I follow is indeed the truth...and what are the signs within myself to look for to get that confirmation? • "And the truth shall set you free"- what does this really mean and what significance does this statement have on me personally? • If God created everything to be good and very good (Gen. 1:31, 1 Tim. 4:4)...then how can evil be bad? • What is the real meaning behind the words "bad" and "evil"? • Who is behind our interpretations of the Bible, we the readers...or can it perhaps be God the Author Himself? • So if there is no eternal hell, does that mean I can keep on sinning and do whatever I want and still go to heaven? • What might be the real reason behind virtually all Christian ministers advocating the doctrine of hell today and are we really to judge them? • Why do I experience immediate fear and angst when somebody tells me there is no hell and that everybody will eventually go to heaven to be with God? • Why do I as a Christian often experience more cruelty, insensitivity and judgement from fellow Christians than from people from other beliefs? • Can it be that Christians mimic their 'condemning' God with justification to judge, condemn and destroy...just as children normally mimic their earthly parents...like father like son? • What effect will a loving and ultimately reconciling God have on how I see myself and my fellow man and how will it affect my personal response towards injustices and corruption on a global scale in general? • Is the Bible a text book full of cold written words and historic facts...or is it a dynamic and living vehicle where words and phrases can change in meaning as the communion between reader and Author deepens? • Is it okay for me to have negative emotions and what may be the real reason for them to be there? • What is the correlation between negative emotions (trauma) and illness? • Why, if I look around me, are Christians amongst the most unhappy people on earth? • How can I get out of this whirlpool of pretence without having to lose face and be relaxed at long last? • Why does a purpose driven life only bring stress and illness to me and what does it really mean to have a Holy Spirit driven life and not having to deliver or perform any more, especially when it comes to the Gospel? • What is the devastating price that I am paying for living a lie and how will I know if that be the case? • Why is codependency one of the most destructive and devastating ordeals one can experience, why does it happen and is there a cure? • How can acceptance of my current situation (however difficult it may be) be the first step towards my true healing? • Why are we mostly hurt by family members and what might be the reason behind it? • Why does my dependence upon a counsellor for advice and guidance not bring the healing, peace and freedom I anticipate? • Why do I read book after book after book...and still not get the answers and peace I’m looking for? • Can it be that God deliberately keeps the whole truth away from the organized church and why would He do that if that be the case? • Why is it that church ministers and pastors are amongst the most stressed-out people today? • Millions of people die every day...many of them gruesome and brutal. What differentiates Jesus Christ's death from anybody else's? • The Bible speaks about the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, but how can that power manifest in my own life in a tangible way? • Can it be that the promotion of the doctrine of eternal hell is in essence a matter of control through inducing fear? • Does how I perceive God determine my attitude towards life in general? • What did Jesus reveal to Paul that He did not reveal to the rest of His disciples? • Was the ministry of Paul the same as that of the other disciples and what significance does Paul's message have on my own personal peace and joy? • Is "rather be right than happy" when dealing with people really worth the sacrifice of my peace and joy in life, especially when it will lead to contention? • Why does Jesus say "love your enemy" when He knows very well that it is one of the most difficult things for us humans to do and how is this possible? • What is God's purpose with destructing emotions like anger, fear, jealousy and envy (to name a few) He subjects us to and what must we do about them when we encounter them? • Why is comparing ourselves with others and our competitive nature so destructive to our well-being and our health and what is the real reason behind us doing it? • What is the "blame game" all about? • Some people have more love in their hearts and have nicer personalities than others...what are the odds that the one with a lesser loving heart is just playing out a role God gave him/her to give the 'nicer' others the opportunity to learn to forgive? • Is the one with a more loving heart and 'nicer' personality faring better and can he/she take pride in that at all? These are but a few of the hundreds of other questions we might have asked ourselves over the years, but I think when the ones mentioned here are addressed, it may help a great deal already in understanding tough issues most people wrestle with. We all can have hope and achieve... - healing and wholeness, - lasting joy, - inner strength, - self worth, and - meaningful lives. I hereby invite you to embark on this exciting journey with me towards... - a better understanding of God, of ourselves, of others, and of the ‘unfair and cruel’ life out there, - personal contentment and inner peace, - hope for our future and that of our children, - a better handling of adversity and confrontation, and - better health. I have to mention though that the progress of this site will be of organic and sporadic nature due to restricted time to my disposal. Have patience and bear with me...is all I ask. May God bless you! “I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit for without me ye can do nothing” John 15:5

“Now, whenever all may be subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also shall be subjected to Him Who subjects all to Him, that God may be All in all”. 1 Corinthians 15:28 (Concordant Literal New Testament)
