Judaism makes it crystal clear that Satan is an angel doing the work 'God' assigned to Satan to do. No repentance required.

Consider the flood. Now consider a wall holding back the water. If we were to let go of the wall and merely let the water flow over us would that be "repentence"? Would this be an action on our part (letting go of the wall) or merely an end to an action (holding the wall)? So would Satan's repentence have to be an action on his part or a resignation to the most powerful GOD. In this light, and to answer your question all things must come full circle.

No. The undeserved gift of God's grace and forgiveness is only available to the human race, via the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. It is not available to the angels, no matter which type of angel they are or their seniority.

Satan / Lucifer was a cherub, one of five such creatures created by God. Lucifer was considered the most senior of cherubs, whose job it was to hover over God's throne(Eze. 28:14) and oversee the music played in His presence. Because of Satan's fall, caused by his pride, God vows he will never be forgiven (see Ez. 28 and Isaiah 14:12-21). Even if he wanted to repent, Satan doesn't have a Savior to reconcile him back with God, as we do; therefore, he has no way to escape God's wrath.

As far as I remember...satan was an angel of God at one time and tried to basically overthrow God not only himself, but with other angles too. It was more than a sin...it was a war. So it was a punishment to banish him and the other angles to Hell and become the dwellers of earth. He made man and gave man graces that the angles are not allowed. We were given free will and emotions. Angles don't get the same priviledges. We get forgiveness and the angles don't. Call it unequal and segragated if you like, but that is what is written...as far as I remember in the bible. Part of Satans punishment was to be in Hell for eternity....not a light sentence. What he did was very grave. He will recognize God and such, but he is so envious of us humans and angry about what happened. I doubt he would get over it and ask for forgiveness. If he did....Im not sure if God would let him back into heaven. Well that is what I remember being told to me from the bible.

devil will in no way repent. He replaced into an angel firstly and grew to grow to be haughty and needed Adam and Eve to worship him. He has no objective of admitting his blunders. he's a lot like people. Many refuse to position self assurance in God no remember what they see and pay interest to about him. The Bible says that those that do not position self assurance in him haven't any excuse because his artwork is clearly considered with the help of people. they could particularly believe that guy got here into life without divine creation. no remember how suited the sundown, or the creatures God created, they developed that way in accordance to hardheaded and hardhearted people. good question. yet devil has dedicated the unforgiveable sin. No repentence ought to do.

I dont believe in Satan as such...I believe in evil human beings and I also believe that they can repent and would be forgiven. People can change.

-IMPOSSIBLE-
Why you ask?...
He is 100% pure sin. He is unable to repent or ask for forgivness, thats all there is to it. If satan, had the opportunity to ask for forgivness and repent, that would mean, there is a little of God's love in him, a little bit of God's light in him, and the world would be so so much different then what it is today. God is the purest form of Love, in God there is absolutely no room for sin...satan is the purest form of hate, in satan there is absolutely no room for love.

No. The main reason is that he won't repent. I believe God would forgive if he repented, but he won't. How do I know, well, I sorta know the outcome thanks to the book of Revelation. Satan continues to rebel and replace God, but fails and is thrown into the lake of fire.

Satan is as mythical as God

All creations of Humans centuries ago - we have come a long way since then to throw these concepts in to the dust bin

I don't believe in Satan, but I do believe that people can change previous bad behaviour, apologise to their victims, and then 'compensate' society by doing good deeds and maybe preventing others from doing more evil.
