Use your brain. The colonial masters where working hand in hand with the missionaries. The colonial masters needed a an agreeable society so the missionaries came in to teach Christianity. Christianity teaches 'slaves obey your masters,' 'Your reward is in heaven,' etc. Christianity is a religion that makes the oppressed feel like their oppression is okay as long as their is some vague hope in 'heaven.' Christianity and Islam were very powerful tools in the subjugation of Africans and many indigenous people around the world.
British is the same as the church....
The British monarch (currently Charles III) is the supreme governor and the archbishop of Canterbury (currently Justin Welby) is the most senior cleric. The governing structure of the church is based on dioceses, each presided over by a bishop. Within each diocese are local parishes.

Colonials introducing the Gospel was them fulfilling prophecy. It was bound to happen.

And GOD/CHRIST will not show up till it has reached the ends of the Earth.

You will be sent to Hell for turning down Truth in your words or your actions.
It is truth and goodness that will save you (whether you knew about the gospel or you lived and died before the gospel came to your people) man has always had an innate knowledge of what was right and wrong. People like Job lived and died before Christ was born, so is it safe to say Job won’t make heaven because he didn’t profess Christ as his Lord and saviour??

Without European people introducing Christianity to Africa, somehow in this age of information blow out as predicted in the words of God in the book of revelation towards the end Christianity would still have arrived Africa. Somehow.

Don't be too focused on Christianity, there are several other religious practices and ways of life that will surely take one to heaven of the God Almighty the creator of heaven and earth.

The laws of God Almighty is the ways and means of getting to heaven and the people that know about these laws live well here on earth irrespective of religion or religious practices.

A little knowledge and understanding of the ways of father Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be a good thing to lead you to God Almighty.

The God Allah is not different, it is just in language and the people to whom the message was meant are different. The people of Islam have father Abraham to follow as well.

The African traditional religious practices are offshoot of the Jewish ways of worship but corrupted over time by the people that followed the original fathers that ran away from the wars and tribulations in the Palestine and Egypt of old into the safe forests of Africa.

If you go to Ethiopia the lost church of the Jewish people were found and many of the Jewish books that were ferried out of the Jewish temples were found and restored. Those books has contributed greatly to the restoration of the Bible as originally established or written.

The wars of religion in the middle East by Islamic jihad has contributed to the disappearance of many religious practices in Africa nay the world today. The Palestinians people are using islam as a religious tool to cause disruption to religion worldwide.

To me, I see all religious styles tends to either of the three: conservatives, neutrals and liberals.

That's aside, the sales of penance is increasingly becoming business like little wonder quotes like this 'It's the confession and not the priest that gave us absolution, your penance without a penitent heart is useless as anything in the world' is needed to be drum into the ears of the confessor not to see forgiveness as a commodity that need to be bought with money.

It's like saying you need to pay for the air you breathe, if it was so the earth will be one lonely place to be.

Personally, l think without Christinianity and Islam we all would have evolved from within. It is much easier to change local practices that are inimical to growth because the experiences are local and decision makers are participant... No doubt some of our traditional beliefs were or are still harmful but a critical appraisal would have come from within either through generational change, war or some form of rebellion.. The Oyo empire had check and balancing process to check the Alaafin..
Those abrahamic religions beliefs may have provided meaning over a 1000 year ago for their Jewish, Arabs and Roman people but well developed countries understand that religion and spiritual affairs are just one aspect of life..
We do our self a disservice as Africans thinking your beliefs in God solves all problems....
The purpose of man, my and your existence is to think, innovate and proffer solution to modern problems through science, research, living in peace and understanding ourself and environment..Religions doctrines in my opinion are just not compatible with modern and current prevailing challenges...
Your spiritual growth/journey should be a private matter between you and your maker and the direction you get should be based on your conscience, mind and motivation to be a better person... We all need to grow and develop in other aspect of life.. For example, your health and understanding your genetic health risk, financial managemt, happiness and emotional welfare, people management and conflict resolution, self growth, training and edutional are other aspect of life that requires attention not just religion beliefs...
You can live a functional life without religion...

Even the traditional religion worshippers know when they are doing evil and when they are doing good and they know there are repercussions for whatever kind of life they chose to live, in the Eastern part of Nigeria we always believed in the God of Abraham even before the coming of the White man, we still have 'Obi Gad" in the East up till today.

And moreover Christianity which also stands for "Christ like and Trinity" is not a religion but rather "it is living like Christ or Christ like, while also believing that God the Father and Son and the Holy spirit are one and work in tandem".

The word religion is just the way the world is deceiving themselves, by using the word religion to mask all sorts of evil, religion only gives birth to greed and wickedness.

When you see anyone practising Christianity in the true sense of Christianity and anyone practising Christianity for religious sake you can easily tell the difference.

So coming to your question, people will still go to heaven according to their deeds and life while alive, moreover there were men/women and servants of God even before the earthly life of Jesus Christ eg Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Ruth, Elijah, Joseph, Israel, Mary the mother of Jesus Christ, David and many others. Christians are living like Christ because he entails Love, Sacrifice, Commitment, but above all else is "Love".

It is a means for our mischievous religious leaders to cash out at the detriment of the poor masses. All those staunch religious people stops praying once they travel go better country and find out that 95% of what they do 40 days fasting and prayers 6 times in a year is being given by government free of charge, while they have to beg God with steady dry fasting before he gives them.

I once argued this way back in 2004 in secondary school with a colleague of mine then.. I asked him “if my great great grandfather wasn’t a Christain but an upright man in all his ways will he still go to hell seeing that he never heard about the gospel in his time“ and my Scripture Union colleague said YES! I told him I don’t buy that. That will eliminate any idea that God was a fair judge.

Certainly God must have judged him fairly. God's judgment is true and just.
Since we are not God and his ways are not ours. Same way our thoughts are not his thoughts. Your colleague must have only expressed his thoughts.
Re: If Colonial Masters Didn't Introduce Christianity Will We All Have Gone To Hell by Ellasure: 10:47am On Sep 18, 2022
When the world was created with Adam and Eve bearing children and their children multiply the number greatly.

To avoid confusions about God Almighty and his worship Angels were sent to the Earth to teach men how to worship and live well on earth. Genesis chp 3 to the end.

There arose corruption between angels and men, please read it yourself.

The Almighty God has always been interested in getting people to know about Him and relate properly from time immemorial.

So European adventures in Africa nay religion is just a continuous improvement.

In the middle ages ie 11th century when Islamic jihad sent away Jewish people from the Palestinia father fransis of Assis in Italy encouraged Europe to send missionaries to the Bible lands as it was called then.

We are not the first to receive missionaries from Europe.

The father Fransis of Assis work led to rebirth of Christianity and Judaism of today otherwise Islamic jihad had extinguished Christianity from the world.

Christianity is not a cheap religion, it is a warrior religion. Ask people in the middle East, because they know better.

Depends.

Many times colonial masters were very restrictive of Christian missionary activity especially in the North. There was even one colonial governor general who was hostile to missionary activity.

On the other hand, the pax Britannia brought by the colonialists did enable the spread of the religion

Finally, for a long time Christian mission schools were the only schools providing a decent modern education. Which wasn't quite liked by the colonoal authorities because such schools were eventual incubators of the independence movement in many subsaharan African countries (one colonialists in what is now Zambia once went on a rant about mission educated blacks and how unruly they were)

Many of Africa's independence movement leaders were educated in mission schools and even got started on ideologies there.( Pissed of the white colonialists to no end)

Maybe if there had been an indigenous movement that had United all the divided tribes in Africa into a unified mass and which could have developed a modern education system as in Japan perhaps things could've been different. But we were divided which was why we got colonized in the first place

Re: If Colonial Masters Didn't Introduce Christianity Will We All Have Gone To Hell by LordPsalm(m): 10:56am On Sep 18, 2022
Well, Hell itself has been a subject of debate in Christendom.

Do you know that hell was never mentioned thru out the Old Testament?
Meaning, Even Moses down to Adam and everyone that existed in those era know nothing about hell. Hell was mentioned only 10times in the new testament.

The question is that, was hell created after the old testament era?

Fact remains that everyone who blivs in God has their different way in which they communicate with their creator. Christianity just like other Religions feels its the only sure way to God.

Perhaps, The Bible itself said "The Only Religion that is pure b4 God is taking care of the orphans, needy etc" So Christianity was never a thing even during New Testament era.

Believing that non Christians will all go to hell means believing that even Abraham who is been refered to as the father of the Christian faith must be in Hell.

To this day, no one, not even the Bible mentioned the location of hell and it only leaves it as a subconcious destination.

*We all believe God is the most merciful, but yet we believe that the Most merciful will roast a large number of his most loved and Cherished creation in hell just bcuz they ain't Christians?

And ppl have to realize the difference btw traditional worship and sorcery or witchcraft.
As Igbo, Igbo Traditional worship functions under Justice (Ofor). Tradtional worship doesn't support subjugation or injustice of any form. Igbo tradition submits to Chukwu okike (The God of all Creation)... So be specific when u think traditional Religion is evil.

Fact is that Religion remain a tool of control which strive under the Umbrella of fear and guilt, pull those 2, and u'll be left with trash....

Religion can't save u
Christ Didn't practice no Religion
Religion breeds hate and seggregation

Humanity is the Ultimate.
How can you claim to Love God when u hate man?
