I was reviewing parts of the bible regarding selling your soul, and I don't think it is meant literally as a transaction, but compromising one's principles for gain.

And nothing of men possessing other men's souls, only the devil, which I don't think is a literal Faustian bargain.

The "sell your soul" web page by Liquid Death is in terrible edgelord taste, but I don't think there's anything more to it.

People literally buy and sell souls in Mystery Babylon, which is an old name for what today is known as America.

And nothing of men possessing other men's souls, only the devil,

What is "the devil"? There are many devils and not only one. A devil is simply a man, whether still in the body or a disembodied soul, that is confused, preferring darkness rather than light. Those that are in the darkness love sin, and so devils are associated with evil. Angels are their opposite, in the light and associated with good, rightly recognizing the Lord of all creation and submitting to his authority and receiving his blessings and strength.

If we see selling one's soul in the context of sacrificing one's principles, it happens constantly, every day, by multitudes of people.

Revelation is my second favorite book of the bible, but I really don't think it should be canon. It has such a different style and tone, and no other book is apocalyptic. And it gives rise to the Christian Death Cults, the people who want the world to end in their lifetimes because they cannot conceive of their own insignificance in the grand scheme of things. It's downright blasphemous.

That actually put things into perspective today. All conservatives have sold their soul to the devil. We sit idly by while “blah blah blah great sin” occurs because we have a job.

Various things in the Bible come off as figurative when read through a modern lens, but were taken literally by the original audience. The idea of an eternal soul is one, that's what the NT is all about, that our souls will be resurrected to eternal life if we accept Jesus's sacrifice. Another one is demonic possession. It's easy to imagine that that's a symbol by someone overcome with rage, but to the ancients, demons were the literal explanation of that.

If ya'all remember a few tiktoks ago when, "little nas" or someone marketed with nike or addidas or who really gives a rip and sold shoes containing someone or other's blood and had pentagrams and triple 6's on them?
Bad marketing, yes. Literal mark of the beast? Nah.

[–]In-the-clouds 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah, I remember those shoes. The shoe was not the mark of the beast, of course, because the mark goes in the right hand or forehead. But the shoe, if it had "triple 6's on them", as you said, then they literally were marked with the number of the beast.

Having blood in shoes is not just bad marketing, but wickedness. The life is in the blood, and whoever sheds a man's blood, by man will his blood be shed.

I appreciate your zealousness, and quoting Scripture is almost always good.
The Word does not return void, right?
But zealousness without knowledge is not good either.
So when you compare the blood, presumably willingly given, in a shoe to the shedding of blood (which meant murder/man slaughter) you're making a mistaken correlation.
Is it wicked, probably. Will blood be shed because people willingly signed over donated blood to be used in the making of those shoes? Not bloody likely.

Keep vigil, keep trying to do His will (G-d's)

A Satanic company that is also full of pedophiles. Don't sell your soul you'll go to hell.
