Can Satan be saved if he repents?

Question

My husband and I are having an ongoing debate. I say Satan can be saved and return to heaven if he confesses his sins and repents. My husband says no. Who is right?

Please give scripture reference.

Answer 1

As usual, less than half the respondents are answering the question that was asked. The question was, Could Satan be forgiven if he repented? The question was not, What do you think are the chances of Satan repenting?

To answer the actual question, all you need to know is that entering heaven depends on 1) repenting for past sins, and 2) accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If there is a passage somewhere that specifically precludes these conditions from applying to fallen angels, I haven't found it. Otherwise, it looks to me like Satan definitely could be forgiven by doing these things.

However, if he actually did these things and re-entered heaven, it would really mess up a lot of basic Christian doctrine. For one thing, the Prince of Darkness plays a pretty major role in the End Times; if he "went good," we'd need a whole new script for Revelations. And, if there was no Evil One, who would we blame bad things on? You wouldn't be able to say "The devil made me do it" anymore. And finally, fans of heavy metal music would just be totally confused.

Watch my video on youtube Satan Repents?!? Proof!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgwwpbzDeZc then watch satan repents 2 on my channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H26iF093p80 to be amazed. For some reason I still somewhat beleive this is from Satan because it says "out never say no" owtneveseno" which is one seven two backwards. 172 is wants heaven to. I can proof that Satan is in fact trying to release his prisoners contrary to Isaiah 14:17. I had a dream on Oct.6 2015 I woke up at around 2:00 AM amazed and walked to the store and bought a beer. In the dream Satan turned into a woman then came back and praised Jesus, although the Christ was being praised he had puss in his nail prints in the dream which made me almost dismiss the whole thing, but Satan cannot say it perfectly..that s just how the rule goes so you have to take it for what it is. I cannot PROVE the commentary the voices gave on it. But he had to correct it, what he was saying about Christ...but it had to be in the form of a lie, appearantly. So he pretended to be Jesus talking and said the puss was not his intent. These words verbatim that were said are "That was a lot for a man to go through" he repents and praises. And I am extremely confused at this point. But watch my videos for proof if you needed it.ch

Answer 3

Good question. I think no, he was given a chance a long time ago and he made his final decision already. He'll never repent actually. It is not because God would not like him to do it, but because God knows he will never do it. The Bible already says what's going to be his fate according to what he chose. However, I think God still loves Satan since it was God who said love your enemies. He'd have not commanded it if He was not willing to do it Himself.

Here's a very good quote which goes well to the point:

"In the opening of the great controversy, Satan had declared that the law of God could not be obeyed, that justice was inconsistent with mercy, and that, should the law be broken, it would be impossible for the sinner to be pardoned. Every sin must meet its punishment, urged Satan; and if God should remit the punishment of sin, He would not be a God of truth and justice. When men broke the law of God, and defied His will, Satan exulted. It was proved, he declared, that the law could not be obeyed; man could not be forgiven. Because he, after his rebellion, had been banished from heaven, Satan claimed that the human race must be forever shut out from God's favor. God could not be just, he urged, and yet show mercy to the sinner.

But even as a sinner, man was in a different position from that of Satan. Lucifer in heaven had sinned in the light of God's glory. To him as to no other created being was given a revelation of God's love.

page 762

Understanding the character of God, knowing His goodness, Satan chose to follow his own selfish, independent will. This choice was final. There was no more that God could do to save him. But man was deceived; his mind was darkened by Satan's sophistry. The height and depth of the love of God he did not know. For him there was hope in a knowledge of God's love. By beholding His character he might be drawn back to God." (http://www.whiteestate.org/books/da/da79.html).

Satan, as any other created being, was given free will: whether obey God or not to obey Him. Unfortunately, he chose not to obey God and rebell against Him.

You wont ever have to worry about who is right, he won't repent.. But , no, he cannot. Like Ishmael who sought restitution with tears and there was no place for him, there is no longer a place in Heaven for Lucifer. When he rebelled and tried to take God's throne, his path and place was set. Because he had decieved Eve, with adam standing right there with her, he bacame ruler of this world and delayed his final end. God sent Jesus to remove satan from his throne, and when the last enemy, which is death is defeated satan will be cast into the lake of fire forever..

Answer 5

Look in the Book of Revelation beginning at about chapter 20. Revelation tells us what is to come...for sure. Satan will never repent; his fate is sealed. Rev. 20:10 is where satan gets drop kicked into the lake of fire. Good riddance.

Answer 6

No.

Salvation is for human beings. Hell was created for Satan and his fallen angels. The Bible mentions nothing about Satan repenting and being restored to his former position. It does say the following:


Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The only future that's foretold for Satan, is being cast into a lake of fire and being tormented for ever and ever.

Hope this helps you.

Answer 7

Question: "Why doesn't God give the fallen angels a chance to repent?"

Answer: The Bible does not specifically address the issue of fallen angels having an opportunity to repent, but we can gain some insight from what the Bible does say. First, Satan (Lucifer) was one of the highest angels, perhaps the highest (Ezekiel 28:14). Lucifer—and all the angels—were continually in God’s presence and had knowledge of the glory of God. Therefore, they had no excuse for rebelling against God and turning away from Him. They were not tempted. Lucifer and the other angels rebelling against God despite what they knew was the utmost evil.

Second, God did not provide a plan of redemption for the angels as He did for mankind. The fall of the human race necessitated an atoning sacrifice for sin, and God provided that sacrifice in Jesus Christ. In His grace, God redeemed the human race and brought glory to Himself.

No such sacrifice was planned for the angels. In addition, God referred to those angels who remain faithful to Him as His “elect angels” (1 Timothy 5:21). We know from the biblical doctrine of election that those whom God elects to salvation will be saved, and nothing can separate them from God’s love (Romans 8:38-39). Clearly, those angels who rebelled were not “elect angels” of God.

Finally, the Bible gives us no reason to believe that angels would repent even if God gave them the chance (1 Peter 5:8). The fallen angels seem completely devoted to opposing God and attacking God's people. The Bible says that the severity of God’s judgment varies according to how much knowledge a person possesses (Luke 12:48). The fallen angels, then, with the great knowledge they possessed, are greatly deserving of God’s wrath.

Answer 8

It's between God and Satan. Some of these answers are wrong even the Bible itself can be somewhat contradicting if not read right. God wants to free us from corruption and so a book about what is to come can and may very well be Gods words, they also could have been versed from his Angels. What's important to understand is we cannot clearly understand God, for he is The Universe. The very end to the very begging. And all of Gods creations in this content through out time and space? is everything that will or has existed will be phased into the new kingdom the new Universe, without corruption. We Humans among countless of stars (NOT JUST EARTH) have a gift. Our sins are paid for if we accept the gift that Jesus Christ has died for our sins. To the very beginning of time, to the very end. A man of this much selfless sacrifice should be in my opinion very much respected. And so through the just of it all I will protect all mankind (all Universe life) for God, The holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ as my savior until my last breath. BECAUSE YOU ARE IMPORTANT!

Just remember one thing. Christ forgave everyone from the beginning to the end. That takes more then just guts my friends. God loves you all, and aids you through the holy spirit and Jesus. Creation is everything. We are designed to create. Not waste time gaining ranks in power and greed. Because those corporations and powers will have nothing in the end, but heaven. And this is a good thing. Things like technology? is not the devil, it's God giving us his knowledge. HE WANTS US TO GO TO SPACE to explore what he made for us, to help others. THIS IS OUR PATH AND IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. believe in Christ I beg of you if I must, for he is the root and we are the stems to heaven. Follow your roots! <3

Answer 9

Your husband is right. Satan was a perfect angel. He watched God create the earth and man. He knew who and what God was and yet, he lied about God to Eve. This was the equivalent of blaspheming the holy spirit as it is the spirit of truth. He (Satan) is responsible for the deaths of every person who has ever died because all persons on earth inherited sin from Adam and Eve after they followed Satan's attack on God's character. Matthew 12:31 talks about blaspheming the holy spirit.

Answer 10

Satin is an Angel and therefore very different than man/woman (humans). We (humans) have an inner spirit that was created by God in our physical bodies. We also have an intellect to make decisions about our salvation. Satan is a fallen angel and just as we (human minds) cannot comprehend and understand God because He is so above our understanding so we cannot humanize Satan or understand his immense power yet we know his power is subject to God and does not approach that of the Father. His Judgment has already been determined and unlike mankind, whom Jesus died for and we can have our sins atoned for and justified by Christ Blood, Satan has no savior to pardon him from his sins and rebellion. His punishment and judgment is pre-ordained therefore I'm sorry to say I agree with your Husband on this one.
