Would you sell your soul to the Devil if he offers you the world?

Question

If you're in the philosophy area, I would hope that you already know the story of the Devil. Anyways. If he offers you knowledge to your true self and the truth of life, will you follow him? Really, would you?

True, you really can't own anything. But knowledge is in fact power. We both have heaven and hell from within.

Sorry that I was not so clear. If he ask you to take his place. You being the Devil, himself. Would you?

Answer 1

sure. anything for a dollar.

Answer 2

After my SOUL is sold I dont have a life any more. So what do I do with the WORLD which is offered to me after my death. That way I lose my soul as well as the world and I have no chance of enjoying while alive or go to heaven after losing the soul.Also if I dont sell it I may remain for some more time to enjoy this world whereas the moment I sell my soul that is the end of life.
Also if I am already enlightened about my true self and truth of life what the DEVIL has to offer is nothing new and I already Knew a Devil is a Devil, it is DOUBLE EVIL and no good is going to come by having any deal with it and by definition a devil can do more harm but not be of any help and what it offers in only TEMPTATION. I have already overcome many such TEMPTATIONS and Devils temptation is nothing new.
I would rather tell Devil to heed my advise and change over and I would offer it its true knowledge and the truth of this life and after life and about eternity/.

Did your parents ever send a stranger to pick you up?

Did You go with them?

The thing about the devil is he used to be an angel. He can talk the talk, and; temptation is not black and white, it is subtle shades of grey. So the deal you are talking about may not seem like much of a temptation at all. How would you know it wasn't God making you the offer? You probably wouldn't. So you don't know what you would do.

Jesus said "The only way to Heaven is through me."

Are you thinking "What if?" Perhaps you should be. You obviously have doubts or you would ask this question.

Try watching "Oh God, You Devil" and think about this.

Answer 4

I wouldn't follow the devil even if he offered me just Tahiti. The world is too complex. I don't want the job of running it. What else might the devil offer me? Something good I hope. None of that fame or fortune stuff. I've read the stories. Those never work out. Eternal hedonisitic pleasure...that I might go for. But so far, no nibbles. I think his bargain hunting days are behind him. He has soooooo many volunteers, he probably cancelled the bribery program ages ago.

Answer 5

Mmm...... To dam my soul for all eternity so that i could uplift the souls of all living beings to enlightenment with the power i'm given. Interesting offer Mr. Lucifer. If you are the Devil then you'll have the power to offer me this in person and i'll talk to ya about it. Tempting-maybe. Suffer hell forever and ever to give heaven to all others on earth. Maybe i would.

Answer 6

Thanks for your question, yes in order to do justice to your question , you will first of all ask yourself if really the devil exists, if really the devil exists , the next question is this, can he really offer you the world,
Presumably let us take it that the devil exists, but if the name devil is associated with bad omens, even the world he will offer you will benefit you not if really he has the power to offer such a gift,but i know he has not the power.
So i will never offer my soul for anything that will come from the devil.

Answer 7

Yeah...I'd do it. I'd even sell my soul to Bill Gates (who's higher that the devil in the evil realm) just for as much as five seconds of true world peace. I'd gladly spend an eternity of suffering if I knew that it meant I, along with everyone else, got to spend at least 5 seconds in true peace. Of course I'd bargain with him, try and work for like 500 years of true world peace and then go from there.

Answer 8

Here's the catch, the Devil gives you the world, then he gets you plus the world he gave you. Even if the Devil has to wait 100 years, he still gets the better part of the bargain by far. Bottomline, I don't see where the temptation lies. So, of course not.

Answer 9

As a former satanist and now reformed Catholic, i can certainly inform you which you would be able to no longer sell your soul to lucifer. Your soul would not easily belong to you in the 1st place, yet God the daddy, and you're utilising it. the belief of merchandising your soul to devil is like me, known joe, purely strolling into Apple and telling Steve Jobs i'm merchandising him all of Microsoft, even although I even have easily no authority or possession of the organization, purely utilising their product. that kind of situation basically happens in poor videos like that Molly Hartley rubbish (which could have long previous immediately to dvd). do no longer hassle with that kind of situation, incredibly on account which you do no longer even plan to worship the fallen one which would not supply a rat's a** approximately you

Answer 10

Obviously a waste of ones self. Knowledge of ones true self is easily gained. On the other hand all things come from God, good and bad, so it doesn't matter what one chooses. What's important is we make a decision and take responsibility for that decision.

Answer 11

Why should i want the world?

Life is about wanting what you've got

I am not rich, neither perfect but i am happy

i have a decent job and afford to eat / buy me clothes and have a house where to be with my husband and kid

that is more than enough for me.


i am happy, really are - without giving my soul to the devil

life is what you make it at the end of the day.
