 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.
 TRUST IN RELIGIOUS INTEREST
 The People of Maybrat, Imian, Sawiat, Papua has realized the God is a
creator of the universe.
 They believe in God since they started to realize the existence of God. In
the traditional life of Maybrat, Imian, Sawiat, tribe, before christian
missionary entry to there at 18 century, the Maybrat, Imian, sawiat,
Peoples has to know God through religion of their tribe which them
called wiyon-wofle.
 Before people Maybrat, Imian, Sawiat, recognize Christianity, they have
developed a religious activity in the worship of God the creator of the
universe in peace.
 Maybrat, Imian, Sawiat, People has an actually people who already
know God, I do not care about religious dogma and other prohibition
that may be said that all religions are traditional in nature was the idol.
 The Maybrat, Imian, Sawiat, people believed God has visited the Jewish
people, he also visited an Arab, he also visited the USA, he also visited
the African people, he also visited the Papuans, he also visited the tribe
and nation other earth through to tribal religions.
 LORD AND PERSONALITY

 God is personal and He can not be touched, He can not be held His
hand He was also not seen by the human senses. God is very
impersonality, every person, family, tribe, and nation have been and
have to admit that there was a God outside themselves.
 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.
 human limitations is what makes them do not understand God, so
that this religion is often claimed that God came from this religion
and not from other religions, God was bred from this tribe is not
from that tribe, etc.
 in fact every religion must know who God is personal, not limited by
time and space specific. God is like the sun is shining on the earth,
meaning that every man who saw the sun he knew that it was the
sun, so that all believers have to understand and know who is God.
