That the natives would fight back and that they would want their land again.
The term “Africa Race” refers to the unrestrained occupation that the continent suffered from, mainly, the second half of the 19th century. European powers began to systematically promote the occupation of the continent, with this process reaching its peak during the Berlin Conference, held in 1884 and 1885.
During this process of conquest, European countries justified their action through a civilizing discourse. They claimed that the domination of the African continent aimed to lead the "developed" way of life in the West, with the advent of technologies that had emerged. In addition to this argument, Europeans used the spread of Christianity as a pretext. However, these justifications were used to hide the real purely economic interest in the region.
Theories based on racial and ethnic prejudice were also formulated to justify this domination. This was known as "social Darwinism", which started from a misreading of Darwin's theory of the evolution of species and defended the false thesis of the existence of the natural superiority of certain human groups over others.
The conquest of the African continent by the Europeans was relatively easy, since, according to historians, the European powers already had knowledge of this continent because of the missionary activities developed in it and the expeditions of the explorers who mapped the territory. This allowed Europeans to become aware of the peoples and kingdoms that exist in Africa, especially their weaknesses.
Luther is famous for his 95 Theses of October, 1517, in which he argued against the church's sale of indulgences. Indulgences were papers from the pope that offered people release from penance they owed for their sins. These theses put him at odds with the pope and the church because indulgences were a major source of church income. Luther argued that if the pope really had power to remove people's penalties for sin, he should do so freely for all.
Several weeks before the famous 95 Theses against indulgences, Luther had writted "A Disputation against Scholastic Theology," a set of 97 theses aimed at the core teachings of the Roman Catholic church's main theological scholars. After the controversy over indulgences got started, Luther was called upon by his brothers in the Augustinian order of monks to defend his theology. In doing so at Heidelberg, in 1518, Luther spoke more fully about the central problem's of Rome's theological system. Throughout his career, Luther continued to attack the system of Roman Catholicism which had people earning their place with God on the basis of merits, penances, pilgrimages, etc. Throughout his career, Luther's emphasis was on salvation by grace alone, coupled with a rejection of Rome's system that portrayed God giving rewards to the acts we do by our own wills. This is what most put him at odds with the church's teaching.
Luther also went as far as to call the pope the Antichrist because he saw the office of the papacy getting in the way of the gospel of Christ and claiming authority for a human leader that only Christ himself should have.

John was "the disciple whom Jesus loved" -- as described in the Bible. We might say he and Jesus were best friends. John's letters to the church--1, 2 and 3 John--are full of expressions of how God brings us life and light through his love. Some pertinent passages from 1 John would be examples like these:<em> "We proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us"</em> (1 Jn 1:2). <em>"If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another"</em> (1 Jn 1:7). "<em>Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God" </em>(1 Jn 4:7).</span>
