What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?

I wouldn't sell my soul for that amount of money however I would consider selling it like in the book Doctor Faustus. I would recieve 24 years in exchange for all the knowledge. In the story, the man enjoys his life for 24 years but only begins to be frightened of his impending deal in the 24th year. I would use the knowledge to find an answer to defeating the devil and therefore, gain the knowledge of the world and suffer from no draw backs.

No not even if you added 3 more zeroes to the end, There was an old movie about a poor guy who did it and when the devil came Daniel Webster a famous orator and inventor of the Dictionary came to argue the Devil in a court of law where the jury was all people from Hell like Gehen Khan etc{Pre Hitler} mpvie. The Devil lost./ Name of movie The Devil and Daniel Webster

Well to know that it is really the devil you would have to have some proof before you sell your soul right. Well if you know that that is the devil then that means there is god also. Well if i was sure of that hell no i wouldn't. In contrary I would probably become hard core religious!!!

I don't believe a soul can be bought or sold, but if it were possible to sell it to the Devil, then I would not, for any price.

I don't believe in god or the devil, but if the devil popped up RIGHT NOW and said, here, take 50 million...I probably would. He's the only real proof I have that anything "higher" exists....not to mention, I don't believe there is a soul...so I would just continue living, just debt free with a nicer house and car!

It is not possible to do that but you could sell someone for 30 pieces of silver like Judas sold Jesus.

I prefer to sell the house, thank you.
I only need $ 180,000 cash only, rather than 50 millions and can not spend it!
