QUESTION: In the early centuries before Christianity came to Africa our ancestors prayed to idols. Will they be lost?

ANSWER: There was a time many, many years ago when all people knew about Jehovah God. Many of our ancestors rejected God and turned to idols (Romans 1:21), teaching their children to do the same thing. In so doing they changed the truth of God into a lie (Romans 1:25). “For this cause God gave them up unto their vile affections” (Romans 1:26). “And because “they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient” (Romans 1:28). Romans 1:32 says that these “are worthy of death!” It is clear then, that all who worship idols will be lost!
