The Devil

The Devil [+ favourites]

Could the Devil Redeem himself?
Could God forgive?

"In this world, we are never lacking. Only losing what we have in hope of gaining what we dont."

Read another thread that dealt with concepts of heaven & the sin nature . . . statement that one does not or can not sin in heaven yet Satan lead the rebellion of souls (angels) which flies in the face of such statements?
Could Satan be forgiven his transgressions, plausible but not probable.

I have read and been taught that the only unforgiveable sin in the bible is -

To blaspheme, not against God...

But to Blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.

This being the case - refer to an old colloquialism with me...

"If The Cannot Be Forgiven, Then None Of Us Have a Chance."

Google it because I can't remember where I heard it.

But directly to your question, I think the is "Created" in the nature that he exhibits... rebellion is not in his core... it is his core. I think God created rebellion as a method not a way of life. So to condem it eventually is only natural as the wind.

Could the Redeem Himself? I don't believe so, technically one must BE redeemed, (purchased back)... it's rare that someone needing that action will have the money

Could God Forgive the ... ? Well, he didn't kill Jesus and God forgives those that were involved with Jesus' laying down His life for sin of man.

Can we forgive each other? That's a firey question indeed.

Peace.

Sure, everybody deserves a second chance, even the Devil...

But he would be screwed during pergatory lol

This is where my question of fate and free wil comes into this.
I mean how the hell could the devil be blamed for what he did if it was already known to God before, and if it had to happen? Adam and hawa had to be thrown out of hell, so God used shaytaan. So satan doesnt need to be forgiven because he didnt do anything wrong, just rode the boat he was flung into.

"I have nothing to be proud of today but hopefully tomorrow I will."

In Christianity, God was supposed to create the angel lucifer and the devil.

Beyond the stories, if there is a spiritual thing then to me its obvious. Just before we enter our souls are the same as just when we leave. Its that bit in the middle where we have free will.

So we make the most of it. Blah de bla.

The devil is just one aspect. All roads lead to the guy with a big white beard.

"Only gay people have quotes to look good"

Lucifer and the devil, mind my ignorance here, i am going to read a bit more now, arent they the same being?
