Selling your soul.

[Moises]

Hi, I'm new and I don't quite know if this is the correct board to ask this, but since this is the Christian advice board, I figured this is the correct one.
My question is about selling your soul. When i was a teenager and a little bit intoxicated, I did a really stupid thing. I wanted something really bad. It was something that i could've gotten quite easily if i had only worked a bit harder at getting it. But it's something that has stuck with me all this time (I'm 30 now) because it actually happened.
OK, So i was stupid and decided to sell my soul to the devil and if i could get this service that I wanted. So since the service happened/came true, I wonder if it's actually because that such a thing does happen and it is real.
I am at a point in my life where i don't believe that you can actually sell your soul and all that stuff. I was baptized catholic when i was little, but I've been studying many different faiths recently. But i do question that night very much. And the fact that many bad things have happened in my life ever since that. But one can also come to the conclusion that because of the path i was heading, These things were inevitable.
So can you truly sell your soul to the devil. And if you have, how can you get it back or redeem it?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

All without Jesus Christ as their savior are already lost and under the judgement that
God pronounce on all men who came after Adam.

Jesus said this....
John 3:18
“He who believes in Him is not condemned;
but he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

All men are lost and need a savior so in one sense your soul is already
lost without the forgiveness that is found in Jesus Christ alone.

Acts 4:12
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven
given among men by which we must be saved.”


How can you sell your soul when it is already lost without Christ.

So to answer your question, yes your soul can be bought back or redeemed
by Jesus Christ as that was His very purpose for coming into this world.

If you believe on Jesus Christ as the only begotten son of God that was sent
by God His Father into the world to take our place in judgement against our sins
and was crucified, buried and arose from the dead to show us He has the power over
death as He told us how we can be pardoned from the original death sentence on all
men and receive the gift of eternal life, then your soul will be redeemed, pardoned and
forgiven and you will inherit eternal life through your faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the only way to His Father.

If you want to escape the death sentence and eternal separation from God the Father of
Jesus Christ then you must believe that Jesus Christ is who He said He is and that He is
the only one who has the power to forgive you of your sins and grant you eternal life.

John 3:16-17
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Hope this helps...

Repent of your sins. Turn away from them for good and turn back to God completely. You were bought with the ultimate and most expensive price ever. You were bought with the blood of Christ and by the selfless sacrifice of Christ. You don't even belong to yourself but only to God. Allow God to have His way with you. At the end of it all, you will not regret it.

Jesus preached, Repent ye and Believe the Gospel..Mark1;15

why must I repent? what is the Gospel?

And God commandeth that all men everywhere repent

I tell you nay except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish


what is the Gospel

the Gospel is this

That Christ died for our sins was buried and arose the third day according to the scriptures


Christ Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost

who are the lost?

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God


But God hath commendeth His love towards us while we were yet sinners Christ died for us


In whom we have redemption through His blood the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace

For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves
It is the gift of God
not of works
lest any man boast

we cannot earn our way to h eaven

Joining a church by baptism or any other religious work cant save a lost soul

For by GRACE ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH


Thats how we receive God's saving grace

I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for my sins

and upon believing that I repented of those sins to the Lord and invited Christ into my heart trusting Him and Only Him for the forgiveness of my sins

and that was many many years ago and I have not been the same person since that day..Thank God

And only Christ Jesus has the Power and Authority to save

Dear Heavenly Father I recognize that I am a sinner and I ask Lord that you forgive me of all of my sins and cleanse me of all unrighteousness, I believe Lord Jesus that you died on t he cross for my sins and I believe that you arose the third day, please come into my heart and live and be my Saviour , in this your name I do pray amen

He who hath the Son hath life and he who hath not the Son of God hath not life


God bless
Evangelist

You cant sell your soul, its a trick of the great deceiver. To keep you in the dark, and not turn to god.

So can you truly sell your soul to the devil. And if you have, how can you get it back or redeem it?

A person who is a Christian has already "sold" his soul to Jesus. (it was not a sale but a gift)

A person who is not a Christian can allow Satan to take more control of his life (open up to more direct demonic influence). This is usually associated with many emotional and mental problems. The solution for such a person is to become a Christian at which point a person is sealed with the Holy Spirit and God comes and lives within him.

The idea of selling a soul gives more credence to our free agency than is warranted. It makes for interesting fiction. The Bible says that those who sin are slaves of sin. The Bible also says that if we live in God's word, we are truly disciples and we will know the truth and the truth will make us free.

We are all born into this evil fallen world that is run by Satan (for now and insofar as he is allowed by God). Satan wants us to think we are free and make our own choices. God sent His own Son into this evil world to pay the price for all sin and thus be able to offer us a way out. The way out is not some "purchase" of our soul, but the receiving of the free gift of love, the forgiveness of all our sin.

 

[parsley]

it actually happened.
OK, So i was stupid and decided to sell my soul to the devil and if i could get this service that I wanted. So since the service happened/came true, I wonder if it's actually because that such a thing does happen and it is real. ... But i do question that night very much. And the fact that many bad things have happened in my life ever since that.

Start with the premise that people here generally believe the Bible represents real events and intervention of God with man. Some people will vary and oppose this stance, but that is the general premise of the forum.

The Bible has many references to opposing supernatural forces: the devil/Satan, demons/evil spirits, fallen angels, principalities powers and dominions, etc. So even if people do not fully believe that these forces are active behind the scenes of our lives, they are in fact part of our scriptures-- the writings we believe are factual.

Now look at what these forces might try to accomplish. They are known to... taunt; accuse; disable; deceive; build guilt; lead us to mistrust God and His promises of rescuing us; lead us to believe we are not redeemed and saved; build fear. And more.

Do we need to trust what they claim?
It is evident that they lie to get what they want, so their words are not worth following, or giving credence to. God is presented as truth embodied, and Satan is presented as a great deceiver. He tried to deceive you.

Did evil spirits/Satan's minions have power to grant you your answer, and also to torment you with problems?
History says yes, that is what they do. Look at any civilization, and there will be claims that spirits made promises and then turned on people.

How did it/they have power over your life? Did they?
The spiritual world, according to the Bible, acts more on authority than on muscle. Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord.

In asking the devil for help, you handed over some authority. You did not hand over your soul. You just gave him permission to work in your life. So retract that -- whether you believe in it or not, speak aloud and tell the devils that they no longer have the right to intervene and mess up your life.

It sounds too simple, but if you think of it in legal terms, or like having access passes, it is like you took away your backup hotel key card. Time's up -- you need your key back.

So can you truly sell your soul to the devil. And if you have, how can you get it back or redeem it?

No.

I'll show you:

Lord Satan, I worship thee! Accept my soul as a token of my undying love to you! Mwahahahaha!!!

Nothing happened.


Seriously though, there are two types of people in this world: those who are spiritually dead and those who are spiritually alive.

Those who are spiritually dead will not repent and trust in Jesus as their lord and saviour, because that's something spiritually alive people do and they're not. It takes a miracle called regeneration to change that, and God regerates who he will independent of a person's own will or decision. This is why the Bible goes into detail about predestination and election, but I digress.

Those who are spiritually alive can't continue in sin according to St John, and are sealed with the Spirit according to St Paul. Their spiritual nature is permanently changed.

Under those circumstances, there is no real issue of soul selling.

 

[BFine]

We are born sin positive and we are dead spiritually to God.
As all of us were-- so we all were Children of the evil one
until we sought the Lord for salvation.
Christ Redeemed us!

In this life we will have troubles but be of good cheer, Christ
overcame the world!
Even the redeemed will have troubles, sorrows and suffer illnesses/loss etc.
Christ said so.

 

[Life2Christ]

In asking the devil for help, you handed over some authority.

The average person does this everyday without even knowing it. For what its worth, to sell your soul to the devil there has to be a blood pact or some blood letting. Words are not enough (from what I hear from occultists).

Well, that follows my point -- just because practitioners or demonic forces say that's how it's done, it's not necessarily true. It might have tangible results, but Jesus paid the price once for all -- so any sort of agreement can be declared null and void at any stage.

 

[Life2Christ]

Well, that follows my point -- just because practitioners or demonic forces say that's how it's done, it's not necessarily true.

Do you believe in demonic possession? (not the Hollywood kind where the only victims are young girls/women).

 

[christ4life4ever]

You have only sold your soul if you have truly abandoned God to follow the devil.

 

[Moises]

Wow! Thank you all so much. You have all given me hope and made me realize that maybe all these doubts I have about God might have been a result from that night. I haven't prayed in a while, But i'm surely going to pray today.
I will ask God over and over again to enter my heart and body.
I will ask Jesus Christ to enter my heart, mind and soul.
Beg for forgiveness and for leadership.

Thank you all very much
and,
God bless!

 

[seeingeyes]

You can't redeem it. You can't get it back.

I guess you are going to have to rely on the grace of God.

 

[parsley]

Do you believe in demonic possession? (not the Hollywood kind where the only victims are young girls/women).

Lol. Yes, I have seen superhuman evidence, and freedom through less-than-Hollywood deliverance. What I am saying -- who made up the rules for selling one's soul?

There is nothing in scriptures that says the devil can be more powerful than God, can claim anyone to the point that God cannot redeem them. The power of the agreement is in the defeat of the signer. People go downhill with regret, and think they are forever locked into that agreement. But that agreement does not need to exist, or hold power over a person.

Jas 4:7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

 

[CounselorForChrist]

If your a christian then as far as I know you can't litearlly sell your soul to the devil (well unless your a wiccan or something I imagine), however you can more or less take a stand with the devil by sinning and going against Gods will. Your soul once saved is saved. Just be sure to try and walk the most straight and narrow path you can. Sure you will mess up at times, but God is loving and forgiving!

 

[Sketcher]

Christians can't, we have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:19b-20a) so Jesus is the owner of our souls. If an unbeliever were to do so, that unbeliever would be a prisoner of Satan - and Jesus came to set the prisoners free (Luke 4:18) and destroy the devil's work (1 John 3:8). So there's hope either way. Jesus turns away none who come to him (John 6:37).

The Lord is intimately acquainted with you.
He desires to fellowship with you right where you are.
He wants you to "know that you know" that He has not abandoned or forsaken you (Hebrews 13:5)
He wants you to know that at all times since you gave your soul to Him it has been in His care and nothing
can separate you from His love.

Rom 8:38-39 WmsNT For I have full assurance that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor the present nor the future nor evil forces above or beneath, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God as shown in Christ Jesus our Lord.

He wants you to know that you don’t have to beg, just ask and believe in His precious promises.
Search His word and start feeding yourself the truth. Find a body of believers and plant yourself there.
At first some of this may be difficult but just keep your eyes upon Jesus and off of yourself and
in a very short time Gods peace will begin to rule and reign in your heart.
You only need to repent once and renounce and revoke the legal ground that you gave to the enemy.
After that don’t look back. Begin pressing into the things of the Lord. He is with you and He is the Great Restorer. "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…" (Joel 2:25a). God loves to restore what has been devoured in our lives. This is done one step at a time as we daily walk with Him.

 

[Knee V]

You didn't sell your soul. It is part of you, and you can freely give it to Christ any time you'd like.
