Only if someone writes another book about them. What's written is written, and the believers don't like to think anything in it can change. Not even two thousand years later. How do they even know that this hasn't already happened and it just wasn't written about?
How can they say that after all this time, god, jesus, and the devil (who knows god personally and takes bets with him all the time) haven't worked this whole thing out and become friends again? It's been an awful long time since the last updated information was put out.
I think people would be better suited to just acknowledge that they don't know, since they can't speak for god and don't know everything that's going on in the world or heaven/hell. Anyone that gives a definite answer is fooling themselves by assuming that nothing has or could have changed since the last update to the story. After all, their original religion was Judaism, and then came Christianity, and then came Islam. The story has evolved, regardless of whether or not some people want to accept the changes or not. So what makes them think it can't change again?
p.s. Claudia's answer is the best that I've seen from a believer. Claudia, thank you for not limiting your god to your ideas. Acknowledging that you don't know is truly being humble before your god, because you realize that you don't know his thoughts.

Too much pride!! They know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are 100% right, and God is wrong. Nothing can change their mind about it. Kinda like some people on this forum. Repentance takes humility, and the ability to admit you're wrong. The devil and his angels don't possess those qualities.

Nope, don't think so. You see, angels are servants of God and they are not human. Devils are malign spirits and thus are not human. Jesus died on the cross for who? Mankind...But John 3:16 does say ..."all that believe in him..." and then the bible shows Jesus performing an exorcism on a pig which had a demon. The demon recognized Jesus and said he was afraid. Therefore, one can surmise that demons, devils, whatever you call them, do believe in Jesus but cannot repent. Demons are fallen angels (see Lucifer) and thus cannot repent...Make sense? This is just my belief...

Doubtful, seeing as they're no longer angels. When Satan and the fallen angels rose up against God, they rejected complete servitude to Him and thus lost the title of angels. Besides that, they really pissed off God in the garden of Eden and have really shown no base desire to repent. Of course, there's always existentialism.

I don't believe that angels fall, I do believe they exist, but falling is only for those of us here on earth who can't exist on higher levels of reality. I believe the Devil is something humans created to explain a higher reality that they couldn't grasp, rather than see how we all have dark tendencies, it seemed easier to scapegoat a mythical being who was causing us to do wrong. The Devil made me do it! But it's our responsibility whether we do the right thing or the wrong one, not the Devil's, not God's.

I don't see anything the fallen angels did wrong. They only questioned God. Life is full of questions. Since God wanted TOTAL control, and did not to be questioned he kicked them out. That doesn't seem very fair at all. It is kinda mean actually.

The one thing that God cannot forgive is the blasphey the Lord Jesus and reject God and he did those both things and we Christians already know how it's gonna end so No i dont think he can. I mean sure if he wants to but the Bible says he would never do it.

anyone can repent, whether or not their repentance leads to forgiveness is another matter entirely. According to Christians, there is no forgiveness for Satan or his minions, but then they adhere to a vengeful hateful god. I find it sad, that Christians seem unable to function without the existence of something they consider worse than themselves.

Satan IS sin, how then can he repent? The other fallen angels belong to satan. How shall they repent?

lucifer and the fallen angels are not man...they had the privilege of being in the very presence of GOD...but that wasn't good enough for lucifer...he wanted to be higher than GOD. higher than the ONE who created him. (much like man, come to think of it) IF they repented...only GOD knows weather HE would forgive them...but they won't...their end is made clear. just as ours is.
