I wouldn't destroy souls for one (or more than one) bad decision. Of course god would forgive him, he's a sucker for apologies. That's how murderers get into heaven. And hey, if the devil repented, then there would be no hell and we'd all be happy for eternity. :)

God has given man some 2000 years to accept the forgiveness that Jesus has made available to us. Time is now running out, and the end is near. There is nothing in the Bible which indicates that Satan will ever repent. Once the final judgment is over, it sounds like our fate is sealed, and unrepentant souls will no longer be given any more chances.

Christians have a totally whacky idea of what the 'soul' is supposed to be. For the Jews of that time... including Jesus... the 'soul' was an enveloping emanation from the godhead that resulted from the community's relationship with god. The soul as a component of a human being (Christian view) is an artifact of Greek thinking on 'dualism'... which was incorporated into Christian dogma and lore by Gentile theologians, who were ignorant of Jewish (and Jesus') concept of 'soul'.
So... apart from the fact that all of this stuff is mythological nonsense, anyway... everyone's worries about what happens to their personal 'soul' are of no consequence... it does not exist.

The power to save our souls ironically lie within our own choice to choose Jesus. God has given us self-determination unlike animals. We decide our eternal fates by virtue of our actions and attitude toward God and our fellow man.
The devil probably never forsaw his own demise. He is only doing what he thinks he needs to do because he is Gods enemy. He cannot be saved because he has committed the unforgivable sin of blaspheming God and rejecting his holy gift of eternal life.

H: Think about this: God created His own Son and let Him suffer an agonizing death so that your sin might be forgiven. Don't you think you owe Him something for this??? All He asks is that you allow Him to give you eternal life by confessing your sins and inviting Him into your heart. He is obviously questioning you right now! He is giving you the choice! Make the right one; salvation is incredible!!!!

Using power to keep individuals from destroying themselves removes their free will, does it not? What's more beautiful to you: a woman that loves you of her own free will or one that you tricked or forced to love you? Which one is real would be real love?
The devil is actually a rogue angel by some accounts. It's hard to say what will happen with them in the end. That's up to God.

The Devil is irredeemable. All lost souls are lost after they have died. God made a way for all souls. It is up to you to follow His plan.
Like Peter said, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

"Souls I created from being destroyed"?
What?
The devil will never ask forgiveness.
He went his wrong way knowing the full consequences.
It wasn't a mistake, it was a choice.

God created a perfect world. He made it for mankind. Then, an enemy came in and messed it up. Christ came to fix it. After repairs, He will knock-the-snot out of the enemy... for a real long time. A LONG time.

You should only have control over your own life, not others. Whom God wants to forgive and not is up to him certainly not me
