A few questions.

I used to be/am pretty paranoid/worried that I might have accidentally sold, or bet my soul. Didn’t want to do that. Thoughts in my head kept popping up in my head like “Oh if you do this you’re agreeing to sell it.“ The idea that I would accidentally make a bet kept popping up whenever I tried to guess something. Ex. Who is this song by again? And then I’d say no bet, but feel some small spark of victory when I thought I was right, and then ending up having guessed wrong afterall. Was driving me nuts. Now though, I’m not really sure what’s going to happen to me.

I’ve been saved. But would doing that (might as well treat it like I did as saying “if” will drive me nuts) damn me to hell? Now I’m worried that God might have just given up on me. I’ve asked several different people from help. Some tell me that its impossible to sell your soul, some tell me yes you can be forgiven if you have.

I guess I wouldn’t be worried about this if I had right? Would I? Where am I going to end up going when I die?

I don’t want to sell/bet my soul. I want all the crazy paranoid thoughts out of my head. And I’d really like to know if God will forgive me or not, whatever it is I’ve done.

So here are a few questions.

Will God forgive me?
How do I know if I sold/bet my soul or not?
What am I supposed to do about my thoughts?
What happens if a believer stops believing? Do they still get to go to Heaven?
What am I supposed to do?

I am going to start by saying this: God cannot give up on you, but you can give up on God. I cannot tell you what is happening in your personal life with God, so I can't really go to far into it. But...I suggest that you pray to God and ask for forgivness of your sins. I had to do that, because I went down a dark and dangerous path. I will pray for you. God Bless.

yea i agree ask forgiveness... and as for the "can you sell your soul" question... i believe that it is possible..for instance i know someone who read this book saying that they knew of sereral rock bands that were goin nowhere then they "made a deal with the devil" so to speak to make it big...and a soul is a dangerous thing to waste like that...but anyways i have no proof of this so it's just my oppinion..and i'll leave it at that...

You would know if you sold your soul to the devil. It is a conscious decision one makes. You would know.

Someone at church helped me with this last Wednesday. They told me that God isn't going to leave me and that if I did do that then He would forgive me. I guess I've been listening to my fears a little too much.

my opinions to you questions, in order

God will forgive you! The only sin that he will not forgive is blasphmy against the holy spirit.

You can sell your soul, Sell it to Jesus in payment for his forgiveness and love. Just remember not to steel it back and place it in the ownership of the devil.

If you are having time to think these things you have time to be saying a prayer or praise. (it doesn't need to be outloud...)

If a believer stops believing they will not go to heaven. i means you have fallen back into sin, and esus no longer abides in your heart. To reach heaven you must know Jesus or he will deny you before his father in judgement. but you only need to ask him to return and of his forgiveness and he shall redeem you.

what should you do. Take peace. God never gives up. to one lost sheep becoming found again he rejoices. Love god, listen to him, study him, and praise him for all he has done.


for some reason this popped into my head
ASK, and it will be given to you
SEEK, and you shall find
KNOCK and the door will be opened to you for anyone who asks recieves.




(normally I would provide scriptures, but no time at the moment. pm me if anyone wants them)

God will always forgive you. No matter what you've done.

If you still believe in God with all your heart and love Him and worship Him, I'm gonna take a guess here and say that you haven't sold your soul. You usually know when that happens...

If someone stops believing in God and they die, I think that God will give them a chance to kind of redeem themselves. Whether is be Purgatory or something else. As long as you put all of your trust in God, God will reward you with Heaven.

God will always forgive you. God didn't send Jesus to Earth for nothing, He did it to forgive your sins. He loves you and you can never be to far away from Him. Pray that He will forgive you and help you.

omg....*sighs*

I'm going to say this real quick and easy. YOU CAN'T SELL YOUR SOUL! No one on this entire earth has the "spiritual" ability to remove and or "sell" your own soul. It is something that is given to us from God that can NOT be taken away by Satan or whoever. Nothing in the bible states we have the ability to do it either, or that Satan does.

Its the same as spiritual salvation, it is given to god and can not be "snatched out of his hand.".

Okay... But what if you weren't raised believing that your life was given to you by God? How is it not possible then?
