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. This legend works well as a morality tale and as a metaphor for the wages of sin, but the details of its plot are not biblical.</div> <bR> <div> The Bible has no instance of a person “selling his soul” to Satan, and it never implies that making a bargain with the devil is possible. Here is some of what scripture does reveal about Satan:</div> <bR> <div> 1) Satan has power enough to oppose even the angels (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Jude%209" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Jude%"><U><U>Jude 9</U></U></A>; <A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Daniel%2010.12-13" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Danie"><U><U>Daniel 10:12-13</U></U></A>).</div> <bR> <div> 2) Satan seeks to deceive by masquerading as an angel of light (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20Corinthians%2011.14-15" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20C"><U><U>2 Corinthians 11:14-15</U></U></A>).</div> <bR> <div> 3) God has provided the means of defending ourselves against Satan's attacks (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Ephesians%206.11-12" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Ephes"><U><U>Ephesians 6:11-12</U></U></A>).</div> <bR> <div> 4) Satan's power is limited by God's will (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Job%201.10-12" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Job%2"><U><U>Job 1:10-12</U></U></A>; <A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20Corinthians%2010.13" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20C"><U><U>1 Corinthians 10:13</U></U></A>).</div> <bR> <div> 5) As “the god of this world,” Satan has dominion over those who live without Christ in the world (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20Corinthians%204.4" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/2%20C"><U><U>2 Corinthians 4:4</U></U></A>).</div> <bR> <div> Surely, there are those who suffer under direct satanic control, such as the young medium of Philippi (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%2016.16-19" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%"><U><U>Acts 16:16-19</U></U></A>). And there are those who have devoted themselves to the devil's work, such as the sorcerers Simon (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%208.9-11" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%"><U><U>Acts 8:9-11</U></U></A>) and Elymas (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%2013.8" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%"><U><U>Acts 13:8</U></U></A>). However, in each of these three examples, the power of God prevails over Satan's slavery. In fact, Simon is offered a chance to repent (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%208.22" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Acts%"><U><U>Acts 8:22</U></U></A>). Obviously, there had been no irrevocable “selling” of Simon's soul.</div> <bR> <div> Without Christ, we are all under condemnation of death (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Romans%203.23" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Roman"><U><U>Romans 3:23</U></U></A>). Before we are saved, we are all in bondage to the devil, as <A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20John%205.19" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20J"><U><U>1 John 5:19</U></U></A> says, “The whole world lies in the power of the evil one.” Praise the Lord, we have a new Master, One who can break the chains of any sin and set us free (<A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20Corinthians%206.9-11" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/1%20C"><U><U>1 Corinthians 6:9-11</U></U></A>; <A HREF="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Mark%205.1-15" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bible.logos.com/passage/niv/Mark%"><U><U>Mark 5:1-15</U></U></A>).</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="50368440.png" border=0 width="360" height="324" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>This information has been used with permission from GOTQUESTIONS.ORG - see copyright, waiver & release details below .</B></div> <bR> <div> This particular pasage minus the brief description & picture at the top which I have added can be found in its original form by clicking this link : -</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.gotquestions.org/sell-soul-devil.html" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.gotquestions.org/sell-soul-de"><U><U>http://www.gotquestions.org/sell-soul-devil.html</U></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> <A NAME="copyright"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></FONT><B>Copyright Policy:</B> While all of the material on the GotQuestions.org website is under copyright protection, the only purpose of our copyright is to make sure people copy it right.
