The Parable of MAN-FROG Show Christian Uniqueness Faith
Note: this story only a fiction story, so if there is a same character of name in this parable it must be a happenstance.Enjoy this religion stories!
The 1st parable story begin with a man called ping-ping falling in Love with miss ely. ping-ping want to get close with that girl, but eli stay afar from him and reject in any invitation of ping-ping. ping-ping want to know more all detail of ely’s life, but ely’s seal her details of life. This made ping-ping can not know and understand about ely.
The 2nd parable begin wit
h a man called Hengky that want to kill a frog and make the frog being a food called "swikee" (swikee is one kind of indonesian food combinated with meat of frog). Hengky understanding the frog well, all of the frog’s life start from the frog anatomy, frog life cycle, etc. Hengky can force the frog to be a swikee and can do some thing action which was suitable with his desire. Hengky can kill the frog and bring it to Laboratorium to chek it out and learn it more. It was a point of view from Hengky to Frog. But it was REVERSE with the Frog that take a look to hengky. Frog can not understand Hengky, maybe the frog only know that Hengky is like a giant and always want to kill itself (the frog). why this happen?? because Hengky and the Frog is different in the Social Strata. HEngky is higher than the frog. Hengky is a man, and The Man is THe Highest in all over the creature of God. IT Cause HEngky can understand the Frog well, and can force The frog with his desire, but it was contradict with The Frog. The Frog can not do anything with the man. Frog can only understand a verly little about HUMAN.
From the Parables I want to tell all of you about the Uniquness of Christian Faith than ALL of THe Religion.God is higher than us (HUMAN). We can not understand God with our small brain except God Express and Introduce HIMSELF (GOD) to us. It is like the Frog and HEngky, The parable show us, we are the frog. Frog maybe guessing and measure who is the man was. Frog describe man by itself. it must be like us,Human from ancient described God and seek God and measured it by theirself. it cause there are many religion created. it was different with Christian Faith, God introduce HIMSELF by the by the Common Grace (like sun, water, rain), story in BIBLE, by the history of nation of ISRAEL, and throug the Holy SOn, JEsus Christ. THis was the main differencies of Christian faith and others. God Introduce HIMSELF by BIBLE in CHRISTIAN FAITH, so we can understand about GOD. but others only know the part of the TRUTH from the Common grace (like rain,sun etc)…because they want to describe GOd with their point of view, they have their natural sense of deity but not at all, because they conclude by theirself. we can only knew about GOD the Creator of the earth and inside the earth if and only if GOD Introduce and expressed HIMSELF to us by the BIBLE through HIS Coming to The Earth and Died in the cross but rose at the third day. Jesus had Expressed and Introduced for you and me.

pake indonesia aja biar semua isa nerima!
low…Perumpamaan pertama menyatakan :
bahwa sedangkan yang sederajat aja (ping-ping and ely), ping-ping tidak dapat mengerti ely karena Ely menutup Dirinya…bahkan kalaupun Ely membuka diri, tetap ping-ping tidak dapat mengerti ely dengan sempurna. hal ini memperlihatkan bahwa manusia-manusia yang sederajat aja tidak dapat mengerti dengan sempurna….apalagi kalau salah satunya menutup dirinya…
apalagi manusia ingin mengerti Tuhan, itu tidak mungkin karena tidak sederajat. Kecuali Tuhan yang menyatakan Dirinya!!!Gitu deh kira-kira penjelasannya.
Thanks for the comment..hope this articles help so much…

Karena Tuhan Menyatakan diri lewat sistem Progressive -Makin lama makin jelas, hingga Puncaknya Tuhan Jesus, karena awalnya lewat bangsa Israel, maka bangsa-bangsa lain yang tidak mengerti saat itu menafsirkan Tuhan sesuai kehendak mereka sehingga melahirkan banyak agama di dunia, lao tse, Kong Hu Cu, Dll…
