Eternal damnation. That's what he gets for being so greedy. For spending all his waking moments storing riches for himself and forgetting to thank and acknowledge God for all the blessings he has received.

He is one whole world richer.

Or, more, precisely his new master.  Since his soul now belongs to whosoever he loses it to.

Could be referring to Galactico,  a devourer of worlds, and the man was the Silver Surfer.

gains-- a big NOTHING... live for Jesus-- have eternal life....

lost of your soul is DEATH..

TRUST & OBEY 4 there no other way. Happy in Jesus, if we trust and obey.. not legalism either..

ma-bu-hai?? BODY[dust]+BREATH[spirit]= SOUL

God gives us BREATH and made us from DUST, if we lose one {body or breath} we cease to be present here on earth.

if you believe in the bible it says ...and i don't quote, lol , something about those who have the riches of the earth will be poor in life but not this life .

life after death, so for those that profit in the spoils on earth will not in heaven, so there for there soul will be lost in h**l...hmmm i guess i can count myself lucky...lol

I think for me the meaning of that phrase will be like this: You got everything in this world...power, beauty,money but if you don't have faith,believe in God and love of your family, friends...everything will be perish at once...That's it!!!
