Is there any brach of Christianity which teaches a reconciliation between God and Satan?

Question

some sorta 'return of the prodigal son'? Let bygones be begones..

Answer 1

There is a concept of ultimate reconciliation. It's know as the "Ultimate Rec."

Answer 2

None yet. Here's your chance. Be like John Paul Matthew Mark Luke and the rest of the Beatles and write your own adaptation of the New Testament. Everyone is doing it, all you need do is recruit a few thousand, move to an isolated state (stay away fromUtah, it's pretty much already indoctrinated), set up a little colony and go go go. You need a gimmick too, but remember that polygamy is taken, as well as marching against abortion clinics, oh, and gay bashing, so you might have to invent something based on a vague reference in the existing book, maybe, I know, you could start protesting places that display the cross as a symbol of love, and start using images of jc that aren't being tortured and killed. That'd show 'em. Hey, by the way, have fun, and don't forget to apply for tax exempt status, it's the real reason most congregations exist, ('cause if it's true belief, you don't really need a 30 million dollar building now, do you?).

Answer 3

No He had ample opportunities over the millenia. The bible says that there was war in heaven and Michael and 2/3 of the angels fought against satan and 1/3 of the angels and he was thrown out of heaven. Satan never asked for repentance. He said : I will make my throne higher than God's I will be Like the Most High" He wanted to be God. He is still Pist at God Thats why he tried to kill Jesus and keep him in the grave. But Thank God Jesus says : I lay down my life and I take it up again. Satan lost the Battle for our souls Jesus is victorius.

Answer 4

Well, since Christ never taught such a thing, then there could not exist any "CHRIST-ian" fellowship that does.

There may be a group of people who have created their own belief system and their own church fellowship that teaches this about Satan and God, but they would not be able to call themselves Christ-ians.

If they did call themselves Christians then they would simply be using the name of Christ to give some sort of credence to their man-made ideals. That doesn't mean that Christ condones their thinking or their teaching.

To be a Christian is to believe in Christ and all He taught, no more and no less!

Answer 5

You need to read the Bible to understand why there will not be a reconcilation between God and our enemy, satan. satan is not capable of "good," he is a liar and the epitome of evil. God has already condemned him to eternal hell, which he knows. That is why satan is trying to take as many people with him as possible - if you do not choose Jesus Christ, you are choosing an eternal hell and satan will be keeping you company. I know truth seems harsh at times but our eternity with God will be perfect, which our mind cannot even fathom right now. I hope to see you there. :)

Answer 6

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Answer 7

Well, first of all, everyone's plea of forgiving Satan. Kids, Satan doesn't want to be forgiven. If he truly wanted to be, he would be, but he doesn't and that is evident in the way he tempts us to make him miserable like himself.
And yea someone somewhere out there probably teaches that God and Satan will be reconciled, but the majority of Christian religions don't teach it.

Answer 8

I hope not. God would have to see Satan perfect like He sees us thru the blood of Christ. I can see Satan saying
I'D RATHER BURN IN HELL AND MAKE OTHER PEOPLE MISERABLE.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10

Answer 9

Read all Milton's work. It pretty well sums up the Catholic and fundamentalist protestant mythology on this topic. (Which appears to be the source of the root of your question).

"Paradise Lost" "Paradise Regained."

You may also want to read some of the readings from the Coptic and Caballa traditions.

Answer 10

I doubt it, in Revelations it teaches us that Satan and his menion will be thrown in the lake of fire. No reconciliation.
