Selling your soul to Satan


GuyBeardmane

Recommended Posts

I just started thinking about this: what does this whole thing entail?  Like, according to christianity your soul will suffer eternal damnation in hell if you don't invite jesus into your heart.  With that being the case, why would Satan ever need to bargain with someone to get their soul?  Does Satan solely go after people's souls if they're saved?  What purpose do the souls serve that Satan would bargain with someone, including but not limited to having a fiddle contest and giving away a solid gold fiddle?  On that note, is there a monetary value for a soul?  Like the kid in the song gets a solid gold fiddle, but Bart sold his soul for $5.  What's the going rate for souls?

I believe this is in reference to Satan will give you whatever you want, but your soul will belong to him. Meaning your soul will be cast into the lake of fire, upon your expiration. A ''More the merrier'' scenario. The more souls he can lure from God, the better. For him. 

And yes, it is Christians beliefs that one must accept Jesus as their Savior in order to reach the kingdom of Heaven.

Hence the name Christianity. 

However, if the Bible is to be believed and taken at face value, the Jewish people are the chosen people, and they do not accept Jesus as their Savior. Which begs the question, if the Jewish folks are the chosen people, and do not accept Christ as their Savior, is Christianity really the correct religion?

Not agreeing or disagreeing with any religion, just stating the facts. In my opinion, regarding God and Jesus, I would be betting the Jews have a better understanding, and the Christians, not so much. I mean, why would the Jews be the chosen people, if they are wrong about who to accept as their Savior? 

Just some things I picked up on, after attending Synagogue.

I guess it's a way for Satan to lock your soul down early to prevent any return to Jesus moments later in life, like sorry, it doesn't matter that you want to open your heart to Jesus on your death bed, you already sold your soul to the devil back in 08 so a video of your dog could go viral or whatever

i think he only tempts you and your soul is instantly his, never fulfilling his promise; or; the time on this Earth in infamy is too short to compare to the eternal hell.

accepting Jesus would be the very consciousness of being a Christian but enduring, practicing, teaching, and spreading  the works of Jesus is the actual religious duty. 

 

it would be nice if you could just say,

"Yes Jesus died for me and I accept him as my savior, he washed me free of sin and will be my Shepherd and Lord, to guide me to the Heavens, he suffered at Calvary and rose from the dead to show us the miracle of resurrection, and rose to the heavens to show us the miracle of ascension, and promised if we follow his works we will rise with him.  He died for us, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, to be with His father the Lord our God ruler of the Universe, who gave his only son to prove his love for us, watched Him die so the sacrificial lamb will lead us to purgatory, where we will face our eternal Judgement,"

but it involves a little effort.

 

i think the fact Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah, is a lesson in humanity. If you look at the education fundamentals of the religion itself, 5500 years old, it says love thy neighbor, it says you are your brothers keeper, it says humanity makes mistakes and the lord protects those who believe in him, it never says (and I will further this point in a second) abandon those who go astray, in fact it says to pray for them. If you look at the city, the houses, the people, the traffic, the children, the homeless, the world spinning around and on one side of the street is a synagogue and on the other is a protestant church, the lesson to be learned is accept your brother, love your neighbor, believe in righteousness and good deeds.  definitely not to find fault in each other. accepting Jesus and his works is as hard for Jews as it is for Christians to understand why Jews dont believe and thats the take, but theres only one option. if you accept your brother and love him, you accept his beliefs, or there will be discord.  The Jews can either accept Jesus or face a humanity of disregard for their brother.  the lesson comes down to if you can accept Christians as brothers then you can accept Jesus, and the bible actually has scriptures about Jesus' brother Jude having trouble accepting some of Jesus works.  so i think it all makes sense that the Jews one day will accept Jesus.

 

who's right and who's wrong is not a necessary standpoint at all

 

 

So if one lives a righteous life, does good deeds, loves thy neighbor, and accepts other people with love, but doesn't believe in jesus, are they still damned? 

If not, why?

jesus knows in his heart if you accept him.  everyone accepts Jesus in some way.  refusing or rebuking the Lord deserves hell, in that religion.

I'm just wondering if that's more important than living a righteous life in the eyes of most Christians and why.

I figured. That's pretty twisted to me. I don't want to buy into a religion where the deity's ego is so fragile they care more about whether or not you believe than how you live your life. That doesn't seem very godly. It seems petty.

its about accepting the fact you need a savior because you are flawed.

Great way to get people to come to and cling to the religion though
