BACKGROUND

• Until  now, any activity whose purpose is to communicate the faith in worship to God in the life of local communities in the world and than specific in Papua (Maybrat Imian Sawiat) by using simple eucharist developed from generation to generation as a tradition of highly civilized customs throughout the life history of each ethnic group in the period of their life history is called Religion tribe has rejected by Samit divine religions or cletical religion, especially the major religions such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism, the faith which all worship activities traditionally idol considered has not validation in their eyes, especially for the fundamentalists. Any local religious activities is considered an idol and not have the essence of truth for the religions of the Book that denied just like that.
• In actually, rather  than in any religious activity if it is made of a random comparison forth between the revelation of God in manifesting Himself to all religions it would seem obvious that God had visited all existing religions, both divine religions and tribal religions are equally visited by God.
• Why do most of the Mystic and Theologian Moderate always find a same similarity in the revelation of God to mankind by comparing the concept  of their religions both written formally in divine religions and religious tribes without text.
• This is one reason why we summoned the courage to make a study of the conception of God by faith in the religion of the tribe in the region Maybrat, Imian, Sawiat, which namelly "wiyon-wofle" that is attached to God and to parallel with the biblical conception of God in the according  of  Christian belief, with The main goal is to understand the essence of God about who He really is adored by all mankind in either traditional or modern since the time of their existence.
• I see that God is worshiped by celestial religions of the Book is also worshiped by the tribal religion, just that dogmatic religion or ideology that makes each Human or religion and a particular tribe claimed that God had descended from them, or from this descent and not a descendant it, or the true God is the God who is worshiped by religions that worship is not that religion, or God was from this tribe is not from that tribe. Here's a thought that makes God small, He is constrained by space and time, he seemed smaller than the world, when the world was created by Him, God is actually not native suggestion, he had no religion, He was not bred. Religion Samit says that God is literally true but that's what tribal religions also have similar thoughts that they are without a literal God also is the true God, both said the existence of God. In our study, we found that the eucharist and the pattern of the teaching of all religions in the world both divine religions and tribal religions have in common and that one in the concepsions essence of God as the supreme reality unmatched, it can be concluded that all religions acknowledge God is omni present and God is omniscient and His great.

§  Sometimes people define God as an ordinary human being who bred and originated so He looks small. God is limited by a certain time and space, when the World was created by him.
