To strike a deal with the devil is to?

The crazy thing is that someone who believes the devil exists also believes that nothing that could ever be offered in this life would be worth an eternal price. In other words, the very notion of selling one's soul is no more than a myth. Wikipedia says a deal with the devil is a cultural motif, best exemplified by the legend of Faust. Wikipedia explains, "The person offers his or her soul in exchange for diabolical favours. Those favours vary by the tale, but tend to include youth, knowledge, wealth, fame, or power."

In summary, it is only a Faustian myth that people can strike a deal with the devil.

Did Satan have son and daughters?

Best answer is we don't know, but this is offered with some exposition.

First, there is no "Jewish Answer" or "Catholic Answer" or any denominationally specific answer to this question. Satan, Lucifer, Azazal, the Angel of Light, Father of Lies, King of Hell is not the exclusive property of any one group.

What we know of Satan comes from legend and several ancient writings. The Torah and Jewish commentaries, the Christian Bible, the Quran, various non-canonical books all speak of Satan, but all with only brief detail. Only one source appears to mention a potential wife, Katarba, but with no detail.

Here's the matter most of the Judeao-Christo-Islamic line have some difficulty with: if it doesn't appear in scripture, it doesn't exist. The problem with this paradigm is that the holy writings are finite and tend to focus on important teachings of the faiths. Satan's love life just isn't that important to religious teachings. And, that limited space just isn't enough for discussions of everything. Note that the Western Hemisphere existed contempory with old testament events, but there is no mention of it nor the people who lived here then. Neither of which is sufficient nor quantitative in proving the land and people didn't exist.

That one source mentions the possibility of a Satanic spouse is perhaps suggests that she may have existed.

One other matter that has popped up is the physical presence and gender of the Chief Imp. Here's the problem: some of the denominationally specific claim Satan, an angel (fallen but still an angel) has no physical body. This is a priori reasoning--cart before the horse sort of thinking. There are countless examples in canonical scripture of angels with physical existence: the unnamed angel who guards the entrance to Eden, the Angel of Death who took the Egyptian first born, the benei Elohim of Genesis 6:2 (although somewhat debated), the two angels who visited Lot (not only did they physically enter his home, the reprobates in town wanted to use them), all refer to physical AND spiritual beings. The Genesis 6:2 reference also addresses the gender issue as well.

Further study suggests that Satan may have had several wives. The four commonly mentioned are Lilith, Mahalath, Agrat Bat Mahlat, and Naamah; although, Mahalath, Agrat, and Naamah are believed by modern researchers to be different aspects of the older (ancient in fact) Lilith.

The long and short of it however again is, just because it is not discussed in the Bible doesn't negate the possibility.

Did job know of Satan?

Job did not know of the meetings of the angelic sons of God in heaven where Satan falsely accused him. (Job 1:7-12; 2:1-6) Job did not realize that his problems were actually caused by Satan. In fact, we cannot be certain that Job even knew the true identity of Satan! So he wrongly assumed that his problems were caused by God.

Can you make a deal with the devil?

the devil prefers to make the deal on his or her terms.

To clarify, it is technically possible to make a deal with the devil (he tried to get Jesus to do it, recorded in Matthew 4:9) but it never works out in your favor. It may seem like a good offer at first, but in reality it is much smarter to rebuke him and refuse any offer the devil gives you.
