I believe the soul can be "infiltrated" by angelic or demonic presences. How? well when you succumb to the power of a certain demon than you leave yourself open. For instance if you have sexual issues your energy may attract the presence of say an incubi or incubus, And than as you further degrade yourself this leaves room for the presence to become stronger and eventually it becomes intertwined so much with your energy/soul that it "possessed" you. But to take a soul away i believe as acid indicated makes no sense. Soul is all of us intertwined. Thats what allows for psychic communication and other things. So essentially you would be stealing a part of a whole that you yourself belong to. God the seed of our soul and the soul is part of all energy and frequency. The mustard seed that resides in you is the seed of godlyhood. You can strive to become god like but in doing so your trying to usurp the one god. and he has warned against that. Now trying to become very powerful and to be angelic or demonic in nature is not trying to dethrone the one and as such will allow you to yield much power. Power enough to infiltrate a soul. The Gnostics true goal in life is to be angelic before they die. To limit and finally eliminate the "earthly" or ego nature of themself. And thus eliminating ways to be "infiltrated".
I believe that this is how the "devil" believes he will win. To take enough souls for himslef into his realm as to be more than god. Pease dont take devil literally its mearly a word to explain the most fallen or the darkest being.
