Yes, but more often, humans lose their soul to gain the world. Matthew 16:26

Whoever sins is of the devil, and the devil controls the world. If we live a life in sin, worldliness, serve money rather than serve God etc, we have given our souls to sin and by extension to the devil, living under his power. Jesus came to redeem us from Satan, to pay the price for our sins, and our souls are free in Him, but if we reject Him and choose a sinful lifestyle, we are in a sense selling our souls to the devil.

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
No. Souls belong to God.

These are both correct. All souls, upon the first death return to God. All will be raised on judgement day '...and those who's name is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire and this is the second death.'

If you are not born again your father is the devil alredy there is no middle ground.
You don't have to sell anything you alredy belong to him .

John 8:44-45 King James Version (KJV)
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Do bodies belong to God ?

1 Corinthians 6:20 King James Version (KJV)
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Satan is delighted if one attempts to do this. It's a spit in the face to God, which is Satan's aim.

Satan attempted to do the same through Job, and through Jesus Christ.

Certainly. Judas Iscariot sold his for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15, Luke 22:3).

No. Souls belong to God.

Do bodies belong to God ?

20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
========================================
Revelation 18:11-13 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
11 And earth’s businessmen will weep and grieve over her because no one buys their freight (cargo) any more.

12 Their merchandise is of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet [stuffs]; all kinds of scented wood, all sorts of articles of ivory, all varieties of objects of costly woods, bronze, iron, and marble;

13 Of cinnamon, spices, incense, ointment and perfume, and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, fine flour and wheat; of cattle and sheep, horses and conveyances; and of slaves (the bodies) and souls of men!

CJB cinnamon, cardamom, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, flour, grain, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots
— and bodies — and people’s souls.

MSG“The traders will cry and carry on because the bottom dropped out of business, no more market for their goods:
... And slaves—their terrible traffic in human lives.

VOICE cinnamon, spices, incense, myrrh, and frankincense; wine, olive oil, rich flour, and wheat; cattle, sheep, horses, chariots,
and human cargo (the trafficked souls of humanity).

As written, men market other men/ people's souls and bodies, all day long, all over the world....
businessmen do, and religious leaders, of every faith and nation

Besides also, those individuals whether many or few (there are many)
who made their own contract with the devil
for power, profit, popularity , especially known in hollywood,
and lost their souls to be an entertainer....

fwiw, look up /search > internet > hollywood contract with the devil.

It is sad, dangerous and more common than people think, in people popular they would never suspect, sometimes the first sign , other than a lot of depression, being suicide, too late.

Not literally. We don't own our souls.

Spirits can make covenants with other spirits; humans can make covenants with other spirits. However, since God technically owns the soul, the overall result is futility


"Selling" your soul is actually "subletting" your soul - because the actual soul belongs to the Most High God.
