“Help me! Help me! My feet are sliding into the fire! Help me! Now my legs are in the fire!” With those words, he collapsed and died.

This happened in the mid 1950's before missionaries went there. One could correctly or incorrectly assume he never heard of Hell.


Christians have been in Africa for a long time. Your American friend was in his location, you think that in 1950 he was the first White person to meet this Witch Doctor?

Based on your story it sounds like they were speaking English? I"m not seeing much to support your supposition he'd never heard of Hell.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
