Selling Your Soul?

You know all of those stories about people who "sell their souls" to the Devil? Is it really possible to do that? Could a person change their mind and come to Christ if they sold their soul, or are they trapped?

Hi Kenzel.

No, I don't believe anyone could sell their soul.

Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. (KJV)

It's already preowned :ebiggrin:

I am not sure about selling the souls but I can say this, I have seen blood magic done and not the way movies go about it. but to the point, most blood magic does require "a pledge of your soul", and I think that is how the phrase got common through media. but in reality they do say this.

Hmmm...

Selling your soul? I don't think that is possible in a literal sense. And really, what does Satan have to offer you that Christ does not?

However, I guess you could "give" your soul to Satan simply by denying Christ and not living by his laws. If that were the case, I guess you could take your soul back by turning to Christianity.

Pelagianism and ... what ... counter-pelagianism? y:-/

Sorry, I don't know all too much about Pelagianism theory...

Can you explain how it relates to my post?

One cannot sell what one does not possess. It is God and only God that saves through his unmerited grace and nothing we do to earn it. Pelagianism is the belief that one's actions contribute in full or in part to one's salvation.

well, i do not know this but people who do not give their lives to God, ultimately give it in the devil's hands, in that he is not the master, that would be God alone. but due to sin he has a claim on their souls. just thinking out loud. :esmile:

Good Point Neo,

Yes, there is such a thing called selling soul, but the phrase must not be taken literally. Some people, who practice the occult do have special ceremonies that represent handing over their souls(literally their lives) into the Devil's hand for fame, money, or whatever reason.
In such ceremonies, the person, after a ritual, lays in a casket, representing the death of his soul. When that person comes back up, it is signifying a new being, one with the Devil's touch. There are many iconic figures in the world, nowadays, participate in such activities.
A great example was 2pac.
2pac had participated in this ceremony, and was a member of the group of free masons. After realizing the price (hell) of his fame, wealth acquired with the Devil's help, he started to lean toward Jesus. To a certain, he would give out clues in his songs, revealing how the free mansonry system worked.
Guess what..??.... soon after, he got assassinated. No one knows who did it, but it was most likely by the free mason organization.
So YES, it is possible to "reclaim"your soul, which in essence means submit your life to Jesus Christ, and recognizing Him as Lord and Savior of your life.

You should carefully consider what you are saying. If all souls were already preowned by God, why are there so many people going to Hell? If it was already preowned, then, I dont possible see God sending people to Hell? Unless you are talking about Calvinism
