Is it possible to sell your soul?

[Bloody Fiddle]

I hear alot of stories about people who
have claimed to have sold their soul
to the devil in exchangefor things,
but do you think it's true?

[Jimmy.]

Yeah, ask the 20 souls I have sold to others.

[Diante]

.... what the.. I was just trying to Google about this earlier to see what I could find from it and what not. I don't believe it's possible.

The answer will depend on what you understand the "soul" to be. If, for example, the "soul" is just a reference to you (in all your essential parts or that which is essentially you) then sure you can sell your "soul" just as you can sell your body. It doesn't have to be to the Devil. Same as one could sell themsleves into slavery.

But this is not the usual way we are using the term "sell your soul to the devil." Usually, what people have in mind by selling one's soul to the Devil is a person giving themselves up to the Devil in exchange for something else. Then, when the person dies, the soul goes to hell and exists under the Devil's dominion. Whether or not *this* is possible will depend on one's theology. In Christian theology, the Devil doesn't reign in hell and doesn't have ownership rights over anyone, so you can't sell your soul to the Devil in Christian theology. Christian theology does talk about the Devil having "power" over people, but this is not "ownership" power and he doesn't need your permission (or sale) to exercise that power.

I think you're
absolutely right.
Alot of people say that we cannot sell out souls
because we don't own our souls.
But I don't understand that, because
if we have free will, then one should be
able to sell their soul.
But yea, I do agree with you.

You have sold your soul - the moment you become a member of Chat-Avenue.

.......We can't sell our souls because they cannot be quantify into a monetary value.

I Doubt that, selling your soul means selling your thoughts, liberty, freedom and everything you have as a human.

In case you miss it, when you create an account there's a small check box with very fine print in regards to selling your soul. You can't un-tick it either


Very serious stuff.




I don't do woo woos

I want an iron!

It seems to me that one's "soul" refers to one's consciousness.

Can consciousness be sold? Not yet, but give it time.
I'm sure some incredibly wealthy and power hungry narcissist has some people working on it.
