You know, "turn the other cheek"?

You do not understand forgiveness
First you must ask forgiveness and be sorry for what you did and stop doing it.. Satan has never repented..
It is all about realising that this world and all of creation really belong to God and we need to do what he wants and not our own thing..

Ugh, what part of turning your face from God don't you understand? lol my goodness, this is not hard hon, pay attention!
Satan committed an offense against God and was kicked out of heaven. Will he ever be readmitted? Doubt it but wonders never cease, do they? Fact is, that's not my business nor yours, that's between him and God.
Tell ya the truth, I have no idea what Satan did and neither does anyone else. Some say he thought himself higher than God, some say he led an army of angels against God to overthrow heaven, some say he was angry (or mayhap jealous) at the creation of man and God's love for us.
But here's the real thing hon, I'd never tell you how long you have to forgive someone who has offended you. I'd never tell a father that he has so many years before he must re-admit his son back into the family. That's foolishness, it all depends on the father and the son, doesn't it? So perhaps you should leave Satan to God and concentrate on your own relationship with Him. :)

God cannot forgive one that does not repent.
Satan has already been judged to the lake of fire EZE 28:14-19.
Satan was the originator of sin and still will battle God and Heaven again (losing again) for control.
He wants to be treated like a God (he is Not) and worshipped.
God is clear " I will have no other Gods before me".
Satan hates God so much that he became The Father of all Murderers. He strives to lead every soul he can to Hell to get back at God.
He is already doomed-

Just out of curiosity....how can you be sure that God hasn't forgiven Satan??? What because Satan isn't in heaven??? Satan is in the position that he is in because he thought he was better than God. Not because God didn't or can't forgive him.
My kids do wrong things all the time. They can ask for my forgiveness and I will forgive them. But that doesn't mean that they will not be punished for their wrong doing. Forgiveness should not be confused with excused or tolerance of wrong doing.

Satan (Lucifer) did not spit on the streets of heaven and was cast out for that reason. He tried to usurp the very authority of God the Father and take His throne from him! What's more, he wanted to force all mankind to return to his presence as Lord and Master, thereby not allowing the great gift of free agency for man.
Satan, and the one-third of the hosts of heaven, knew what they were doing when they rebelled against the Father. Their great sin was nothing to sneeze at; it was mockery, rebellion, and heavenly treason all rolled into one superb but futile attempt to become as God is.
No, the ex-son of the morning light can never be forgiven for what he tried to do. He is the Chief of the Sons of Perdition.

Gee, I must have missed Satan's wanting to be forgiven & be with God. Last I read in Ezekial, Lucifer wanted to over throw God & be him!
by the way Sarah, Lucifer & 1/3 of all angels were thrown out of heaven & down to earth. They are now called demons.

Because there is something the person doing the sinning has to do BEFORE they receive forgiveness. REPENT!! Do you think Satan will repent??? Besides there is an unpardonable sin. To claim to be as God. Satan has committed it.

And allow satan to cause what he has caused on earth in heaven? God forgives only if we repent, confess and forsake our sins.
satan has committed the unpardonable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

First, let me say that God doesn't WANT anyone to be in hell. Hell is a consequence of rejecting his grace and living a life that is not in communion with him.
Satan has and is rejecting God because he wants to be a god. It is the supreme example of pride.

Turning the other cheek on someone like satan sounds very very unwise.
