Do you think Jesus had compassion,forgiveness,love for satan?

Question

what if satan had a change of heart and wanted to repent? Silly question im sure but, where does Jesus love and forgivness end and begin?

Answer 1

Satan does not want forgiveness, he wants worship or death. Jehovah has deemed that he will get death. The Bible descibes him as "a liar and the father of the lie". He has blasphemed against God and his son.
The English word “blasphemy,” however, is usually restricted to irreverent or abusive speech against God and sacred things. It is thus the antithesis of words of worship directed to the Divine Being.
In view of the name Di·a′bo·los (meaning “Devil” or “Slanderer”) given to him, it is evident that the first one guilty of blasphemy was God’s original adversary. Though his speech to Eve in Eden was veiled and subtle, it, nevertheless, portrayed the Creator as untruthful. (Ge 3:1-5) Satan has been, therefore, the prime instigator of blasphemy from then till now.—Joh 8:44-49.
Since Jesus was God’s Son and direct representative, the things spoken against him may also properly be defined as blasphemy.

Answer 2

Interesting question, in my own opinion, if Satan had truly repented he may be forgiven, but the only thing i can say about that is that God is a lover of justice and justice must be meted out to the unrepentant, the Bible does make that clear.

“If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment.” (Heb. 10:26, 27) Yes, the Scriptures plainly show that some will not gain eternal salvation. As Jesus expressed it: “He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.”—John 3:36; Rom. 2:7, 8.

As far as i can see it, if someone is repentant, they have hope, but as far as we know from the Bible he never did that.

The unforgivable sin mentioned in the Bible is sinning against the spirit, and i think that that may mean someone who is unrepentant and who willfully sins even when they know what is right, however, i am not willing to judge what happens to another because it is wrong for us to try to guess at who is saved or not - God is Judge.

Answer 3

Well . . . I do ask this question before. . . I could not accept the answer that Satan is too proud to admit mistake. . .But God can forgive him.

But again, now that I am much older, and had experienced much about the work of satan in my life, i began to realised that it is ture.

He always believe he is winning. . . look at how he tempted Jesus, and it is clear that satan really think he can win God.

No way will he going to repent.

1. Jesus says "Get thee behind me Satan" he does not say "Get thee away from me Satan" You ask someone to get behind you when you want them to join you and be on your side. Not when you see them as an unforgiveable enemy.

2. When you truly understand people there is no possibility of not forgiving. If people are truly evil then there is nothing they can do about it and it is not their fault. If they are not truly evil then there is a part of them that is good, and something must have happened to make them do that bad thing, so it is understandable. Forgiveness should not be something special that you have to earn. It is natural. Holding a grudge, hating, seeing fault, - these things come from not truly understanding, and are not logical.

Of course Jesus' love and forgiveness extends to everything and anything. Maybe he could get angry, but he could not hate... Maybe he could wish someone was better but he could not see it as their fault.

Answer 5

I don't believe that Satan was an actual entity.. but rather an idea.

I mean.. if God is a compassionate god, and all-knowing, he knew that when he created Lucifer that Lucifer would end up being an asshole, being evil, etc, and eventually be thrown in the Lake of Fire for all eternity. So, to avoid such suffering and torment, wouldn't a truly merciful and all-knowing god simply have refrained from creating Lucifer, thus NOT giving him a chance to go bad, and end up suffering for all eternity?


To answer your question though, I believe if anyone, be it me, Hitler, Satan, ANYONE, were truly sorry for their sins, that Jesus would absolutely forgive them.

Answer 6

Given that God is supposed to be about forgiving and compassion, if Satan were to truly repent and give up on all things evil, God may very well forgive him. After all, Satan was originally one of God's creations.

Answer 7

2001 was a good year. Went to Thailand, saw my family after 11 years, took a 12 gauge cartridge in my left ankle and foot point blank, spent the rest of the year in hospital and am still to this day undergoing corrective surgery.

Fact is this. People do insane, unspeakably, grotesquely inhumane things to each other and to blame this on "Satan" or Martin the Martian... whatever man - that is an absolute and complete cop out... "It wasn't me - the devil made me do it" its just another lame way of ducking responsibility and accountability.

They have many a name for people who's brains work like this. These people are suffering from many of the various forms of mental illness, not just a case of being simply Insane, people with this disposition are unsound of mind. People who think this way are treated with medication and kept out of circulation from the general public as they are a threat to themselves and society. People who blow other people away with shotguns are unbalanced, irrational and sick.

The story of Jesus is one of compassion, forgiveness, tolerance and most importantly one of understanding the tragedy of life, to being hope where there otherwise would be none. I'm not in any way a religious man but I am able to understand these teachings as I have been touched by the comfort which these thoughts or 'prayers' indeed can and do provide.

I am a man of flesh and bone, not of myth or of legend and I am able to forgive the man who shot me and by doing so destroyed my life and career, left me permanently disabled and scared in ways that I will never be able to change. Do you think that in some way that this makes me divine or don't you think that a man who it is reputed to be not only divine, but Jewish, could also find the same within his heart?

Go take a look at your TV and see what's going on in Israel - the mother land of the Jewish people and see if you think that this is a nation of people who walk in the path of forgiveness. There you will find the answer to this question and possibly find some context to your question, as it is either 'silly' as in ridiculous or a childish and heartless question posed for jokes.

The real answer to this question is 'yes' of course - naturally! Forgiveness is essential. Without it you can never move on or be free of the past. The things that you own, own you as well. If you choose bad tenants then don't be surprised when they trash the house and set fire to the place. Take out an insurance policy and learn to tolerate them if you really must, but the choice to have them in your home is one that you can make before your calling the local fire brigade. I think every living thing in the universe knows this to be true - life is precious.

It's actually quite selfish to forgive as by doing so you take all the anger and turn it into the past. Letting go of the past is opening yourself to the present and this is where the future can happen - but first you have to let it happen. For yourself.

Is it so silly as to think that all people in the world could think like this without first having a life changing, or near death experience such as I, or is it just a little too ambitious in this present climate to expect the people of this world to be this wise to begin with?

Monkeys - got to hand it to them... they are smart!
For monkeys....

Answer 8

God and his son Jesus will never forgive Satan. He has done too many bad things.

Answer 9

Well i know that the bible talkes about an impardenable sin which is a blasphamy against the holy spirit, it is debatable as to what exactly it means but knowing that satan is evil in his entirety i would bet that he has blaphemed against the holy spirit which is no forgivable...
