The whole world.

What does it matter if he loses his soul.

Hell itself is contradictory.  The bible says that people in hell will be punished for all eternity. . . and later says that hell will be destroyed.

Apparently when the soul is lost, he won't be around to enjoy his world. because the soul makes up our presence, so i have no answer to that one.

Of course, i'm pretending for now that people have souls to begin with.

because when we die our soul leaves the body that we each posses, and with nothing to sustain the body, it decomposes and returns to the original dust that it was made of

Good question, this is so because apparently the average life expectancy of humans, is in the mid 70s.

This is really interesting, No profit my dear, its really sadled when u see what the world as turn tooo, just take a look at this how many people on this forum listen to messages or gosple music, they all wants to listen to worldy music, how many nairalander contribute to religion thread we all wants to have fun by going to Sexuality, romance and so on,

this are all worldy things to be realistic, we all say the holyness is from the heart, God doesnt look at the kind of wear we put on, it all matters, cause our body is the Temple of the holy spirit. how will it profit us to buy cars, put on expensive and nacked waers we call cloths, go to hotel and ve fun, going to parties, smoking, drinking stealing just because of the things of the world just because of some years enjoymeny, then lost our life.

at time i keep wondering my self if am going to make heaven, few minutes i just confess my sin, then the next minutes u see me furnicating.

May God help us and give us the real Salvation to make heaven.

@ Beloved Sister Christiana


Dont Give up it possible with God but impossible with man. Consecrate yourself and determine you follow death or life


Matthew 3:10
And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Struggle to bear fruit even if you are the only one dare to be a Joshua

inward and outward holiness is needed

God is not mocked whatever a man sow that shall he reap

Build yourself in your most Holy Faith

THE WORLD MUST DRESS AND BEHAVE LIKE US AND IF THEY FAIL TO THEIR SIN IS ON THEIR HEAD.

EVERY ONE FOUND WITH SIN WILL STAND TRIAL AT THE WHITE THRONE INDIVIDUALLY

if a man makes wealth and loses his soul, his family will help him enjoy the money; atleast the family will be very comfortable, and they will pray for the man to make heaven. It's just like ABACHA's issue, he made and acquired enough wealth and lost his soul at the end of the day but his family are still swimming in millions and billions of Naira. But how many christians in Nigeria give a meaning to to "what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his own soul ??" Even Pastors are working around the clock using all sort of avenues to acquire worldly wealth; or has Pastor Chris not gotten nearly the whole money in Nigeria?? Does he ever think of loosing his soul?? Please make the money, if you are not there to enjoy it your family members will.

When i read this i thought that it could mean. We go around trying to get all the things that the world we live in (society) deems valuable, cars, women, money, power, dominance ect.  There is no way (at least that i can think) that we can obtain these things and truly be a follower, or saved or however you want to call it. So although these things may make us feel good, is it worth the price of us losing our soul (morality, ethics, relationship with God ect). So what does it profit a man to Gain the world and lose his soul. There is no profit because as you were doing what you had to do to get everything that the world has distinguished as valuable you were losing and forgetting about everything that the Lord has deemed as valuable. Just my interperation and i am not tryign to come off holier than anyone, im an, arrogant drunkard foolish habitual sinner but anyone can try to change

Point of correction,i don't shout blood of Jesus because His blood has already been shared for me.But one thing i want to tell you is that it is natural for fear to come when you want to die except you are not human,but think,you have the best cars,houses,everything good thing you ever think of in this life and then when you die you leave everything behind.Eccl 6:12 says"for who knoweth what is good for man in this life,all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow?please read.And also Eccl11:8"But if a man live many years,and rejoice in them all;yet let him remember the days of darkness;for they shall be many,all that cometh is vanity.So please my friend the ending of anything is better than the beginning.gain your life and lose the whole world.thanks
