If Satan really did go around with a document which people could sign to to sell their souls away with, I think there would have been a prophecy or a specific warning in the Bible. I don't see it. Perhaps someone would care to enlighten me.

As for the ad itself and the testimonials of artists and pop culture icons, they could be speaking symbolically which may indeed be the point of the ad. You can give yourself over to what the devil offers without ever actually signing your soul away in some fallacious book. The Bible calls this sin. This would mean that the commercial is actually relaying a fundamental truth...and selling a car.

In another reading the commercial could be running contrary to the whole idea the site propagates in even starker terms than previously mentioned. Perhaps they are saying that fame in this world can come without corrupting influences, but instead a mere seizure of opportunity. Other than implied sex, I do not see the protagonist do anything inherently evil.

Is it a crime in and of itself to be a skilled dancer in a club? A friend or romantic partner of a Hollywood starlet? A race car driver? A draw for the opposite sex? To even own an expensive car?

Certainly not! Fame and power are difficult to achieve without some degree of corruption, but if all things are possible through He who strengthens me and it is in His will to do X or be X. Well, X is what I then shall be.

I like how the linked article never actually mentions how the guy turns down satan's offer...guess that would interfere with their message though

"(and notice in the commercial, even though the young man turns down the deal he still plans on getting the Mercedes-Benz and “everything that comes with it)"


I guess reading the whole article would interfere with your message though. Lol.

Though he is getting it with cash, not through satan. So do you have a problem with people just buying things or getting them through their own hard work? How is this a bad thing?

Nice try. Your initial post said the article didn't mention that the guy turns down the offer. You were dead wrong.

oh no, sorry i was wrong. too bad the fact that he does turn down selling his soul for the car negates the ENTIRE ARTICLE.

IYO. Ads are all about planting ideas on a subliminal and subconscious level all the time. Hence companies spending millions upon millions for them. Sometimes details are transmitted that you don't even notice. Symbols in the occult world work the same way. I know it may seem hard to believe but a lot of information can be communicated that you are not aware of. Just like you missing that the article mentioned that he didn't accept the offer. lol.

Yes this fearsome occult that some christians are terrified about yet it never actually messes with people in the real world.

Yeah, that is what I don't get about it. There are real problems out there, and the Bavarian Illuminati isn't their source. Well, except during Oktoberfest.

I do believe that ads and famous people put bad messages out to their followers, but I did not see anything wrong with the Benz commercial. I love Mercedes and found it quite funny. He could have sold his soul, but then he seen the price and was like "nah, I'm good." I loved it.

You don't have to believe in Satan. But he certainly believes in you.

It's true. Satan speaks our language, sin. "Here's a car..." and the guy runs wild with his lust for material goods, his pride and self-esteem rises, it feeds his desire to be made much of among men... and not to mention the lust of strange flesh.

I didn't pay much attention to the website, but I think any Christian should be able to see the lessons though unintended.

Buy a car, because you think it'll make you look great. The devil knows your language. ;)
