Sounds like a spoiled child that doesn't get his way and so immediately seeks to rectify by doing some mean thing to the one that caused him problems-I do not feel that this is a God that I can support-He preached forgiveness and yet there is no recourse forLucifer-and Just how do you think Lucifer is responsible-if God Created ALL Things then he created Evil as well-But Lucifer-wanted to be God U say-Well haven't we all-OH U Confirmed we are all Evil 4 saying that!-So like the bible says I am Evil-that's why I PREY ON CHRISTIANS!

Thank you for dispelling the rumor that Christians are nuts.

For ONE THING, God never said in the Bible that ANYONE would burn forever. PERIOD. That was a parable, and Christ himself said he taught ONLY in parables or illustrations (using one story to explain another).
The story of the burning hell is nonsense that the Catholic Church "borrowed" from Pagan religions sometimes before the 1st millinea to frighten the masses into submission, the same way they "borrowed" "St." Valentines day, Christmas day, Easter day, Halloween (All Souls' Day), etc. None of this was Christian in origin. What does an egg and rabbit have to do with Christs resurrection? Nothing, their fertility symbols of the goddess Astarte. Astarte=Easter, even SOUNDS similar. So, again, there is NO burning hell, borrowed from pagandom to scare the people into following the, well, ::sigh:: church.
What did Lucifer do? He started ALL these lies. He is the FATHER OF THE LIE. He lied to Eve, to everyone. He challenged God's right to rule which is why we're in this mess right now. So, all the deaths, murders, disease, EVERY BAD thing that ever happened, even if NOT done by him, can still be placed at HIS feet.
Why doesn't Lucifer have a recourse for his sins? Because he doesn't WANT ANY! In HIS MIND, HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG! GET IT? Also, to be forgiven, there must be an EQUAL sacrifice, something EQUAL to that which was LOST, for mankind, we lost a "perfect man, Adam." So God replaced him with ANOTHER "perfect man, Jesus." Christ was not a "man god," if he were, the sacrifice would have been too much for us and he would have been too great a sacrifice for mere mortal mankind. However, since he was human, he was, as Goldilocks says, "just right." So, man was saved. However, angels existed even BEFORE the Universe was created and watched it be created. And no one volunteered to die and be a "savior" for the Angels, so they HAD NO SACRIFICE. Since there was no sacrifice, there was simply NO WAY to bring them back to God's favor.
Since there is no burning hell, all those not written in the Book of Life will be "thrown into the Lake of Fire, which is the 2nd death, the Lake of Fire." (see the Book of Revelation, i think chapter 20 or so). The 2nd death is eternal DESTRUCTION. Remember how you felt before YOU WERE BORN? That's how Satan will feel when He's destroyed. That's not very bad punishment, is it?

To start with St. Lucifer is not the biblical Satan. He is an Arch Angel that was supposed to be this planets guardian angel. but got a swelled head and thought he could run things better than The Creator. Him and his band of rebel angels lost and were thrown out of heaven unto an island surrounded by a sea of glass until the day of Judgment. there is no passages that say that they can reach out into this world and create evil.
The Creator made and gave Satan (the tempter) to try our souls and temper them for the final Battle between the forces of life and death.

devil is a subsidiary of God, Inc. devil is in charge for the severe value of incineration at an identical time as God owns hell. They the two income while their purchasers burn. And the purchasers fortuitously bounce into the flames.

Forgiveness was made for his people. People were created above the angels, god loves us. Angels don't sin. they either choose to be with God or they don't. Those who don't can not stay with him. this is easy man.

GOD CREATED LUCIFER FOR A VERY HIGH POSITION IN HEAVEN. GOD CASTS OUT SIN {EZEKIEL 28:12b-16} BY.... YOUR TRADING YOU BECAME FILLED WITH VIOLENCE WITHIN, AND YOU SINNED; THEREFORE I CAST YOU AS A PROFANE THING OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD; AND I DESTROYED YOU, O COVERING CHERUB, FROM THE MIDST OF THE FIERY STONES.

The only way to burn in hell is to walk over Christ's dead body.

It seems he didn't do a very good job burning his creation when he passed over you.
