If the Devil came to you and said “If you want your children to live a long and healthy life, you must serve me and do as I say” would you accept?

[SolitarySolace]

Yes

No

[normalice]

Well, according to lore, the devil is a liar so "long and healthy" is likely to have some twist if it isn't just an outright lie. Moreover if the implication is that they won't live long and healthy lives if I don't serve him/her, if it's a threat I don't negotiate with terrorists. If it's prophecy and the devil is offering to intervene, again liar. Of course if this devil demonstrates the power to subjugate anyway, then the choice is taken away so it doesn't count to say I "chose" something at gunpoint.
So, the only plausible avenue is if there is some prophetic doom and the devil proves it is true somehow. But to do that they'd have to basically go over the likely sequence of events that led up to it, in which case that would probably be enough to get me to think of a way out of it on my own. Unless of course they waited until the moment I could no longer escape the inevitable on my own power and so had to rely on outside help. In that case I would need to know more about the situation.

good reference to film ghost rider 2007! i will heal your father and did but died soon anyway.

[patrick994]

No, because the devil is a liar, only evil comes from him, so even if he granted these things I would end up paying for them dearly.

Then he is not omnipotent, so he has no power over things, only God can grant the things you mentioned.

[FreyaRed]

He isn't capable to promise me that because I come from another stable and "Devil" plays in second deity league maybe in third one

[Altheavas]

The devil can make deals with itself. I am a bigger devil. 👿

[strateguy632]

considerin serving him is doing bad i would refuse to serve him. even if it would be threat the your childrne would suffer". certainly just a bribe not enough.
i was offered a "house and wife" free gift if i join islam but i know the book i woud be commiting to it. a good person would never submit to book quran.

[NamerOfStars]

I don't have kids, so no problem there. I'd just tell him he was clearly feeling cranky, and was in need of a snack. Then I'd give him some of his food cake, and it would be fine.

[lightbulb27]

no devil is the adversary, a liar from the beginning. not to be trusted.

[wHolLyGoTgodgods]

Detail Elite Victor In Learning is what I would ask and then I would take there place as who ever the damn devil Is.
By the way I don't believe in the devil.

[Agape93]

Remind him of a few things.

1. I don't have kids and can't have kids.

2. I don't obey lesser creations of lesser deities.

3. If you want to compel me, you'll have to take it up with things far older and stronger.

[Phoenix98]

Nope because the devil is the manipulator and the liar and everything he does is to benefit himself. No deal with the devil no matter how tempting will ever be to your benefit.

[strateguy632]

exactly like jafar in disney film aladin 2.

[exitseven]

I would play along with it until I could find some way to kill the devil.

[DaBiggestBird]

I would tell him he can go eat a jelly sandwich

[AviatorTom]

I don't believe in the devil. That would be someone dressing up in costume, with no way to enforce their threat..

[NathanDavis]

"not interested in politics, thanks buddy..."

[Siri137]

I don't even have children, so no, I wouldn't.

[IslaTheWitch]

He wouldn't... he can't make a deal with a witch :D

[jshm2]

You cannot give, what you yourself do not have! Be it a scammer or the devil.

[BrookeS]

He doesn't have power to dictate what happens to my kids

[Drew051]

Yes. He's asking the same thing God supposedly does and since he's standing in front of me I know he's real, unlike God.

[Zestyassmf1997]

I’d tell him he’s a lying ass bitch.

[myloveforuisinfinte]

He can't,
Coz I don't want kids.

[OddBeMe]

It’s called reigning in hell for a reason!

[Roudyrebel8]

It's a lie why would you accept
