Bible Question:
Please Help! Is anyone familiar with Goethe's "Faust"? I have an assignment to compare "Faust" to parts of the Bible. I would appreciate all the help that I can get. |
Bible Answer: Faust is about a man who sells his soul to Satan (Mephestopheles in the story)for knowledge and wordly success. Think of someone accepting the offers that Satan made to Jesus in the desert. Think Adam and Eve in Genesis, think Simon Magus in Acts who thought he could make a deal with Peter to buy what he thought was control over the Holy Spirit.
