Okay Jesus died to forgive sins. We all know that. But was that just to forgive humans? 'Cause angels have souls too. They are god's messengers but are imperfect. But it seems like they are even fallen or they are not. (fallen angels are demons) But the question is this; why can't angels be forgiven and why did Jesus only die for humans? Or did he? It seems like angels only get one chance and they are eather fallen or they are not.

I would have to say the reason that fallen angels, or rather demons can't be saved is because they were up their in heaven with God, they have seen Him, know his power and yet denyed him! why would God give them a second chance, we on the other hand have not yet seen God, we will someday, and we are created in the image of God and were given a choice to love him or not, regardless of the fact that Jesus died for everyone of us.
I hope this helped.

No, Angels CAN NOT be forgiven. I know this sounds harsh. But in order to be forgiven there has to be a sacrifice in equal proportion to the sin commited (such as Adam sinning = Jesus dies a perfect man to repay Adams loss of perfection). No one has sacrificed, nor has God allowed such a sacrifice for the angels. And why should he? The Angels were created (according to the bible) before the universe was even started, they've seen it all from beginning to now. They've seen all that God has done, created, made, etc. They've seen wonders we can't BEGIN to imagine and yet they just tossed it aside like it meant nothing. No, the Bible says that Angels were "created a little above man", they're faster, smarter, older, wiser, etc. But they don't have souls, they ARE souls. And the Bible says "the soul that is sinning, it itself shall die"

Angels lived in Heaven with God for quite some time. They knew his love and his power. For whatever reason the decided to follow Lucifer, the High Angel of Praise.
They had their chance and they made their choice, just as we are today. I'm sure if a demon wanted to return to the Lord his sins would be forgiven, just as ours are. However, it seems they have become so apostate that they want to continue following Satan.

Angels (not Demons) do not have free will as humans do. They have nothing to be forgiven for, because they can not choose to do wrong. According to theologians, the angels were given a choice once, and had to live with that choice for eternity.

Where did you learn about angels? Angels were created by God to be ministering spirits for us. They aren't human, they don't sin. In the beginning when Satan was kicked out of heaven, he took his followers with him. It doesn't happen. It was a one time thing. They don't need forgiveness because they arent human.

Well it was explaned to me that because Lucifer and all angels had GOD with them and not just by faith, that they actually committed the one and only unforgivable sin, and that was to know GODs supremeness and then to turn around in his face and deny it.
This is why people on here can deny and critisize GOD and still be forgiven, because they do not yet have a real understanding of who and what GOD is, the angels had that, but still chose to deny it.

He died for humans only. "the angels long to look into these things..."
from Hebrews I think? At any rate, it's in the part about humans receiving salvation and angels wishing they could experience that type of gift from God.

Jesus came to earth as a man, not an angel.

I figure because angels have seen God, and they know his glory, they never fall too far, and always know they have done wrong. They probably have more than one chance. However, you can never know till you can ask your Maker face to face.

nah cause as far as i know, angels have nothing to sin about, unless they come down here and see all the sin standing in the corner and waving and all.
