No. He already been condemn, by Jesus Christ. He, all the lost souls (people who died in sins), and his fallen angels (demons).

He was a beutiful angel in heaven called Lucifer whose high position was to guard the throne of God. The sin of pride came into his heart. He wanted to be like God Almighty but in his madness, he enticed many angels to join him in an attempt to take over heaven. God threw Lucifer and all the rebellious angels out of heaven like lightning. These fallen angels became devils, and Lucifer became Satan. The Bible says that they settled around the planet earth, which became Satan's domain. So you see, most of the problems that now continue happen on earth is because of him. Satan is a real person and he only comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. But Jesus came so that we might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. And JESUS CHRIST DID!

Wow, I was brought up Catholic, (not practicing it now) but i never heard that before. According to the Bible, there is only one person (by name) who is already judged and condemned to death. That is satan. At the end of the 1000 year period, he is loosed for only a short time, to deceive those that would follow him (again) then he will be turned to ashes from within.
Also, just a side-note: I'm surprised that a priest would say that even besides satan, that everyone will be saved. Thats so far from Biblical it isn't even funny. It is Gods desire that every single soul be saved that hasn't already been condemned to death, but many, many souls will not be saved. On the bright side, there are many that will be saved.
You know, its incredible how far we have strayed from the true actual Word of God. In fact, I really blame the fact that you hear people on this site all the time that are really mocking and hateful about the Christian God - I blame that on the fact that the real Word is not being taught. Instead, some real tripe is out there, and when a non-believer hears a Christian saying something stupid like that this earth is only 6000 years old, its no wonder they think Christianity is bunk, and that Christians are idiots.
I really feel that these Churches better wake up and shape up because I've said it before: judgement begins at the pulpit;and it should start there, because they are the ones who are supposed to be feeding the sheep - the sheep are starving to death for knowledge. In fact in Amos 8 God tells you that the famine in the end times will not be for food, it will be for hearing the true Word of God. Pardon my rambling on,,, Happy New Year

I've never done any good things, I've never done any bad things; I've never done anything out of the blue......so I'm strung out in heaven high and I'm waiting a long long time for the moment of redemption to set things right. The devil will be paid the appropriate dues, win or lose; eternity is a long time to spend alone; thorny crown or fiery throne; only God knows what God has planned for all the angels, demons; and the final fate of man.

Definitely not. As stated in Matthew 25:41. Devil and his angels were already judged by God.

As also stated in Revelation 21:27. "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Revelation states that no evil thing shall pass through the gates of heaven. This tells us two things: 1) the devil is not going to heaven, and 2) more interestingly, there are evil things outside of the gates of heaven, even after the Judgement.

ummmm... I guess its possible the devil could go to heaven but at that point I see all the people in heaven becoming hate mongers like they always were and casting him out from heaven again. Even after the devil had quote unquote changed his ways. lol.

If you go back to the religion that first conceived of Satan, then Satan never actually LEFT Heaven, certainly not to a place of perdition and torture. He was set out from G-D's presence so he could do the job he needed to do -- tempt mankind away from G-D so that they would have an adversary to strengthen their spirits from, and by challenge and strengthening, ultimately draw CLOSER to G-D. In Jewish teaching, Satan isn't disloyal or fallen -- he's so trusted by G-D that G-D entrusted him with being the only being capable of opposing humanity.

In the end, when all is said and done and sin is no more, Satan will take his place again at G-D's side, from which he never truly left.

How can an omnipotent G-D have a genuine enemy strong enough to need to have a final battle? Such a thing places Satan at the level of a deity himself, and is polytheism. When Christians made Satan into G-D's enemy, they condemned themselves as polytheists.

Also remember the devil was originally an angel, angels are different than men. men dont become angels and angels dont become men. angels are servents, man has free will, so the same judgment does not apply.

and as far as saving all people? in revelations it says even in the end times, and after being given several chances, some people will never repent. thats just the way it is.

Revelation 12: 7 And war broke out in heaven: Mi′cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. 12 On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.”

He's been there, he got kicked out, so NO, he is going to spend eternity in the lake of fire! He knows that,and his time is coming, why do you think the world is so bad? He's the one causing all of the horrible things that have happened all throughout history!!
He and God are having it out, he knows God has already won,so he wants to take as many souls as he can with him!!

God help us All!!!
