It seems like there is a battle raging within... I am saved by the blood of Christ, but Satan seems to be bombarding me with his worldly propaganda and offers of fame(record contract). I dunno... I won't sell out... Down with the Crowley Regime!

How could you think that possible success is the devils work? And why would you think signing this record contract as signing your soul away? I would think more along the lines of its a career. If you have talent enough to be offered a record deal and the terms of the contract arent too outrageous then why pass up the opportunity to use that talent in a positive way? The signing of the record deal doesnt have to mean, drugs and whoring. Its not a matter of what your career is, its a matter of how you carry yourself and present yourself in that career. It can be a positive thing, maybe God has seen fit to give you the opportunity of a life time. The opportunity to set yourself up in a position where your voice and message can be heard. It then becomes your choice on what exactly that message will be...

The devil can only offer you what is temporary. Anything beyond that is a lie. He offered Jesus power over the world, it was something that the devil only had partial of. He offered Jesus as well as anyone that is listening what every they may use only temporary. Your soul is more. The battle is against the flesh and spirit. Your spirit knows that the devil is lying only your flesh which is "a vessil of clay" is more accepting of the influinces of the flesh. Sexual desire, Monitary gain, Fame, all is going to be gone when you die. So feed the spirit not the flesh.

Use your talent for the Lord! Look at Carmen! He has concerts all over the world! He stared in his own Movie called Carmen The Champion! There are Millions of Teens who on fire for the Lord! Go with God. Down with Aleister Crowley who was the most Evil man in the world according to his own words!Crowley mocked Christianity and everything that was decent and holy! You would be doing good to stay away from his evil teachings!

If he is offering fame and fortune then that sure is a lot more than the other one is offering you. I think I would have a lawyer check the contracty though.
The other only offers a possible life after you are dead. Possible but not sure at all.
That guy with the fork may be ugly but he does keep his word.

LEARN THE WORD OF GOD! Remember when Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted of Satan? Well, Jesus experienced the same thing you are talking about. What did Jesus do? He answered the temptations of Satan with Gods Word! For every temptation in your life there is a word. So when the temptation arises speak back to it saying "It is written...(bible verse to fit the temptation)" just as Jesus did. IT WORKS!
PS: Satan CAN NOT negotiate the sell of any-ones soul. God created and owns all souls and God is the only one who has power to bless, judge, or destroy souls. Please do not give power to popular pagan belief by believing it yourself.

Satan will tempt you with anything he can. It's up to you how you use your Fame and Fortune. Many rich people use their wealth and power to help others. In the end it's up to you. But if you believe you would be weak and use it selfishly and make you feel you don't need God anymore, then I say stop and think before making any decisions. But it could very well be God who sends you in this direction. Pray before doing anything first.

The Devil took Christ up in the spirit to a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the earth. He told him "worship me, and all this I will give to you". So you see, the devil not only temps you and me, but even God himself in the body of Christ. The Lord rebuked Satan and said "It is written, You shall not tempt the Lord thy God". You can sell your soul to evil, but what does it profit a man to gain the whole world if he loses his own soul?

Why don't you just own up to any weakness you have instead of blaming it on a mythical creature?
A record contract isn't evil; but if you let the fame go to your head and become just another punk that trashes his hotel room, then its your problem. I don't see the devil's hand in it at all.

I would not sign any record contracts and I would just stay home and be a good Christian. Fame and talent are tools of the devil.

That's why the Bible says to put on the entire armor of God, so you can withstand in the day of temptation, and having done all to stand, then stand firm in your faith!
The REAL battle is there because you have not "crucified the flesh along with its passions" - you crave "the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life", without which, satan is disarmed and has no real power.
