Your Soul Belongs To God by Gombs(m): 7:40am On Apr 28, 2016 |
Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine… (Ezekiel 18:4). There’re those who ask if it’s possible for people to sell their souls to the devil. No one can sell his or her soul to the devil; the reason being that all souls belong to God. How can Satan possibly pay for the soul of any human being and with what “currency” exactly? God paid for the soul of every man, woman, boy, and girl, with the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19). Satan lies to a whole lot of Christians, deceiving them to think he’s in charge of their lives somehow, whereas he doesn’t have such rights. Jesus bought the whole field and paid for everyman. So, you can’t sell your soul to the devil. Even if you stood in front of the devil and said to him, “I sell my soul to you.” He couldn’t buy it. Your soul neither belongs to you nor Satan; it belongs to God. Even when you give your heart to Jesus, you're not“selling” your heart to Him either. The terminology of “giving your heart to Jesus” doesn’t really apply in the way we think a lot of times, as to “bundling” yourself up and giving yourself to Him. To give Him your heart is to give Him your attention. He said, “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyesobserve my ways” (Proverbs 23:26). So, when we say, “Give your heart to the Lord”, we’re saying, “Turn over to Him; yield yourself to do His will.” The reason you can do that is because He gave you the right; He took the right off Satan, gave it to you, and said,“Give me your heart and follow me!” He told the Israelites, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:therefore choose life...” (Deuteronomy 30:19). He told them to choose life! Serve God truly, with your life. Love Him with all your heart, for your soul belongs to Him. It’s important to understand, nonetheless, that there's such a term as ‘selling oneself to do evil.’ This means willingly yielding oneself to do evil or wickedness. In this way, one could be said to have ‘sold himself’ to the devil or evil. “And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD...But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up” (1 Kings 21:20, 25). 2 Likes |

You're right, Satan currently holds souls of many! that is no lie! but my soul and the souls of genuine Christians belong to Jesus! sonOfLucifer: |

ifenes: You're a spirit... God made you so, and you live in a body. Your body is your only licence to be on this earth, and since you're a spirit, and live in a body, you hence have a soul. Your soul, my friend, belongs to God, for he bought the whole field with the blood of Jesus. If you continue living this way, on judgement day, your soul will be tossed into the lake of fire. That's the second death. 2 Likes |

Re: Your Soul Belongs To God by Gombs(m): 1:24pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Amberon: You're so wrong! Ezekiel 18:4 MSG Every soul—man, woman, child— belongs to me, parent and child alike. You die for your own sin, not another's. This is self explanatory. God didn't say "some souls are mine" and notice judgement of sin was the only reason a soul was killed. That is referring to the second death. The devil has no power to kill a soul... And physical death here doesn't mean the end of a Soul. 2 Likes |

sonOfLucifer: I don't need die yet... The good book already told me this and showed me the future of your father, the devil. The devil, knows this too. Keep playing an ostrich, hiding your head and thinking no one sees your body! 2 Likes |

Gombs: I am pure energy,conscious energy experiencing different parallel realities at the same time. But I have created an illusion of time to experinces them separately. I am that I am, Alpha and Omega. I change not,even when I change form. I am always present,never absent and will never die. I am the human soul. |
Re: Your Soul Belongs To God by Nobody: 2:02pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
Gombs:You've been reading the wrong book. Just like the Muslims. The Eternal doesn't communicate through the pages of the material. His Word is everlasting, ever true, can't be written, can't be taught. The Eternal breathed upon our hearts, and from there springs wisdom and truth. There is no truth, no wisdom, in the lie that God killed himself to save you from Himself. Only the FOOL calls that FAITH. 4 Likes |

Gombs: You looked into an ancient piece of relic (that is called The Bible) and you tell someone else that he is wrong, because the relic says you are right? Interesting logic. BTW, my soul belongs to the flying spaghetti monster already. I signed the contract yesterday. Unlike your awful religion, there is no hell. There is, however, a roller coaster ride for eternity. 1 Like 1 Share |

The sudden influx of atheist here... Is pretty much interesting. The soul must have got y'all thinking,and believe it or not,the soul is so complex that science can't dare explain it... Because you can only understand it by the Word. Anyways... Let's keep to topic. Thanks 4 Likes 1 Share
