What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?

Absolutely no profit if a man gains the whole world using his own methods. Absolute blessings of favor and open heavens for those doing it His way! \n'The blessings of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow to it.' - Proverbs.

No, I wouldn't sell my soul to the devil; not even for all the riches in the world. Becuz he is a liar, a thief, a murderer and he is not concerned about us. He only wants our souls to torment them in hell. He is an angel of darkness who appears in the form of light.

Sometimes it is.  When you have nothing to lose, you become more liberated emotionally and spiritually.  We often create false dependencies on the things and people we think we possess.  If we knew what's truly important and what to let go of, I think we would live much richer lives.

I think it refers to u not being greedy or being to attached to physical things. For example a person might be in need or just hint that he/she likes something of yours. If your greedy you might not even want to talk about the subject cause you already know where it's headed. If your attached you might be willing to give that person something else. If your a giving person you'll be able to weigh out the other persons necessity or interest in the object over yours. Giving full hearted, can bring you peace, love, joy and no regrets. But that's only if you do it full heartily. All & all i think the quote is a religious quote, and basically means you cant keep any earthly matter. If u can give willingly then its probably because you've realized that there is someone or something greater than you. If you ask me the most valuable thing anyone can give is their time. What u gain from giving what u cant keep, I think is a lifetime of peace, loves, & laughs, and at the end of it all an eternal life of happiness.

Hah!  I love what punk*rocker* said.  It's true...you can have all the money you could ever want, but still be unhappy.  People all clamoring to get some of that money, you'd have to decide what to do with it, and all those other inconveniences with having lots of riches.  Eternity with Jesus however, is just that.  There are no catches all over; it's simply yet profoundly refreshing and blissful.

The only way to achieve world peace is to completely annihilate basal human nature. Wars are fought over greed, jealousy, anger, bigotry, and lust. While it would be nice to imagine a world without these things, it'll never happen.

The essence of life is the soul, the individual human soul.  I do not believe it does disappear, but transforms.  It is not a "faith," in the sense that I feel I must believe it, but a "working hypothesis."  Make of it what you will.  I figure there is no justice unless I get to come back and get it right!  I deserve a shot at being one of those beautiful, slim, elegant, intelligent, graceful, charming ladies that my soul knows it can be.  I've been good (relatively speaking), and this dumpy old body ain't reward enough!

No.\n\nWould a person consistently do, say, or think higher or better things if they did not feel truth within their heart? That is, what would be the reward of competing with an imaginary concept? You don't understand people very well if you think that imaginary rewards from imaginary beings are enough to keep them "in line" for years upon years.\n\nBut let me just speak for myself. Imaginary rewards from imaginary beings with imaginary qualities are not enough to make me want to do better and be better. If I did not have evidence of God in my heart and soul, I would be a sloppy, self-centered, chronic-misdemeanor-committing, self-indulgent jackass. This is my nature. Trust me, I know. If this world was the only world there was, I would slather my incompetence and selfishness all over it, and I wouldn't care about any consequences except prison. And, no, I'm not kidding.\n\nIt takes more than an imaginary concept to make me want to be better. It takes more than imaginary incentive to make me want to rise above my small-minded nature. It takes true spiritual rewards from a living God who actually provides them. What the deal is, is that without God I have a dark heart and a murky mind. When I lived outside of God's grace, I was an utter and complete tool.\n\nThere was no human incentive good enough for me to change my heart and mind. Anything any of you people could have offered--money, prestige, personal glory, fame, or any of that hoo-ha--just wasn't good enough. All of it (at least the money, prestige, and personal glory, which I did have or think I had) did not change my dark heart and murky mind. It fed these things, in fact, and I craved more.\n\nMy problem was that there was nothing in this world that was satisfactory and whose promise did not wear off shortly after I attained it.\n\nIt was when I reached the point where I came to understand this for real, and I hated it, all of it, that I began searching for God in earnest.\n\nIt wasn't you, or him, or her that I was competing with, trying to satisfy, or holding up as a standard. All you people were as bad as or worse off than I was. Nobody had anything I wanted. And as for good behavior and good intentions--people who exhibited these things turned my stomach. I certainly didn't see that as an incentive either.\n\nI hope that this answers your question. To sum up: Only God could fill the chasm within myself, and he did fill it when I sought him. If it was all just a concept, it wouldn't have worked--because I have chased after many a concept, seized upon its claims, and turned up empty-handed in the end.\n\nGod lives, his promises are real, he provides, and all that is of him endures.

If you do it for money,fame or personal gain,you will be very disappointed.\nBut if your motive is service to others through Spiritual Awareness,They and you will reap rewards far exceeding any fame or economic gain.

Satan, the "Boss Fallen Angel",  is the prince of this world.  "This world" being the one in which we now live and breathe.  Therefore, to divide and conquer in this realm is irrelevant.  Satan's won.  This realm, however is but a fleeting moment.  The body that we now all exist in is also a fleeting effigy, a quite temporary outward housing for our eternal TRUE being.  Our soul goes on forever; that's who we truly are, not the physical mass that is our body.  That's why cancer, AIDS, murder, etc. can't destroy us.  Our bodies, our physical presences, are of clay.  Our spirits, our true beings, are of timeless substance.  I got precious little space, so her it is:  Accept the forgiveness won for us ALL by Christ on Calvary.  Acknowledge God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as your only hope from damnation.  Go out and live it, tell the story.  It didn't come cheap, but it's free.
