In the fanciful tale of Dr. Faustus, a man makes a deal with the devil: in exchange for his body and soul, the man is to receive supernatural power and pleasures for 24 years. The devil agrees to the trade, and Dr. Faustus enjoys the pleasures of sin for a season, but his doom is sealed. At the end of 24 years, Faustus attempts to thwart the devil’s plans, but he meets a frightful demise, nonetheless.

I would be less concerned with Satan purchasing my soul if I were you, and be much more concerned that Jesus has purchased my soul with his own precious blood.

Acts 20:28
Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers,
to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. ~NASB

Pretty sweet deal actually. I do not knoow if you can seel your sould to the devil, seems you would require to communicate to make such a deal, and if you were to communicate you would be overtaken at once and lose your soul for nothing. I do not know if belsebud wrote an antibible with verses called perverts 1:16, etc. Not willing to find out either, seems dangerous.

Those who live in sin, reveling in the joys of the flesh ARE selling their souls to the devil, are they not?

Worry not, for Jesus PAID THE PRICE to redeem your soul from damnation with His precious blood shed on Calvary's Cross...........ONLY BELIEVE!

FAQ: Is it possible to sell your soul to the devil?

A: I vote YES based upon the deal that the Devil offered Jesus.

Matt 4:8-9 . .The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him
all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. All this I will give you-- he
said --if you will bow down and worship me.

When I was young and in college I was dirt poor. I paid my own expenses and had little left. This was a period of trying to run from my faith and explore all the world had to offer.

Anyway, a fellow student offered me $50.00 if I would sign a paper that he owned my soul. I immediately said yes, $50.00 was too much to pass up. When he handed me the paper I could not sign it. The lure of the money just was not worth signing a paper that someone else owned my soul. I know a couple of other students did sign but I don't know how it all worked out for them.

I don't know why it wouldn't be possible, but a person would have to be crazy to do it.

Is it possible? No.

Don't let Elizabethan tragedy occupy your thoughts as pertains to its meaning in your life.
If there are points that help you in life, that's different.

No, that's just a superstitious saying.

It's not possible to sell something that doesn't belong to you,
