Why doesn't Satan repent?

Question

If he did, he wouldn't have to live in hell. He knows that he will lose the final battle against God.

Answer 1

The same reason Romeo didn't dump Juliet for something better.

It wouldn't make a good story.

Answer 2

That explains a lot.Actually I'm just from a website that suggests that choices in Heaven are of eternal consequence.In other words there is either desire to follow God or not to follow but either choice you make is of eternal consequence in heaven.This by the way makes a lot of sense,it explains why if you die and had a chance in life to repent and receive Jesus but chose not to, out of your own 100% total will,you cannot repent in heaven, in other words whatever choice we make here on this temporal world will have eternal consequence once we die and are taken up to heaven(which is eternal)angels happen to live in this eternal world where choices once made cannot be changed (might be the reason why Satan hasn't repented or more like he cant because he picked a choice very well knowing that it would be eternal, in other words he had fully made up his mind to Go against God and hence isn't interested in repentance)for us Christians struggling to follow God every day in this sinful loving world, that is great news it means once we go to heaven we will be able to serve God in eternal love, joy and peace.Amen!

Answer 3

Satan is an angel and they were created for Gods assistance, Angels have a choice to sin or not but most don't because they know who they serve. Satan was already in paradise but he betrayed God and he lost paradise.

Satan doesn't have the power to ask for forgiveness because he lies over everything, all he does is hate and he cannot repent.

Answer 4

Why would satan repent? He's the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4), the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2). He thinks he's going to win. Why repent?

Answer 5

Who knows what happened before the creation of time and earth and man. For some metaphysical reason Satan and his followers are not offered forgiveness through repentence.

Answer 6

I think when God cast him to the earth and cast him out of Heaven, he could never return.

Satan's fate has already been sealed............

In the bible it says that Hell was made for Satan and his angels, so that tell us that Satan can't repent.......

Or can he?????

lLso something to think about is in Revelation

Satan is cast alone on earth 1000 year alone, what will he be doing after 1000 years????

Answer 7

Many people, even Christians, do not realize the full story
behind this - Satan at one point did have the ability to repent, but after he started a great war, a third of our people followed him, and many others stayed neutral and didn't really care as long as it didn't affect them (yes, all of us- we were all souls that were already created then).
So at that point, it was more serious than just Satan and his need for repentance - now we have a great amount of Gods children who are also in trouble with God.
To answer your question, since Satan caused that war, and was defeated, he was also judged and found guilty and condemned to perish. So repentance is now a moot point,
he would have to have his sentence revoked, and God was not about to do that, since this caused so many problems with regard to the rest of us. In fact, that war is the very reason we are all required to come thru this flesh age - to make an ultimate decision of who we would follow.
No repentance is available to Satan, but Gods plan to have all of us come thru in the flesh, is a one and final chance
for many of us. You see, when Satan started that war, a third of our people followed him, but then also a great many others stayed neutral, and didn't even care enough to take sides.
There was one group who stayed loyally on Gods side, and of course Satan was defeated.
God's plan for the redemption of his people has nothing to do with Adam and Eve, or of anything any of us did while in this flesh life. All of it has to do with what happened BEFORE, when that war occured. Each soul is to come thru this flesh age one time, born of woman, to make an ultimate decision of who they would follow. To make the plan work, a few things had to hold true:
each soul must have complete freedom of will to make decisions in their personal life WITHOUT THE INTERFERENCE of God in the personal life.
And, there is not any use in choosing between good and good, so we needed a comparitor. Even though Satan was condemned to perish, he is still around, because God is using him as our comparitor.
Every single thing each soul says or does is being recorded for "court".
Satan is given a limited reign in this age, but only to provide that comparitor; he knows he is to perish, and he is looking at this as his one opportunity to stage another attack on God and Gods children. Satan will ally himself with Egypt, Russia, Iran and others to do that.
Anyway, as far as Satan living in "hell", he's not living in any kind of hell. He is in Heaven right behind Jesus Christ where he was put in Matthew - right where God can keep an eye on him. When the appointed time arrives, it is written that the
Angel Michael will boot him out of Heaven and onto the Earth to deceive those who are not studied in the plan of God.
He must be in Heaven, if he's gonna get booted out of Heaven, correct? Yes, Satan knows Scriptures quite well,
and that its written that he will lose against God, but Satan
feels that he does have a chance, and another way to look at this is that this IS Satans last possible chance to make his move, so he's gonna put in 210% - a last possible effort.
I assume you've heard that Satan will come as Antichrist and set up his one world government? Well, did you know that He did that once before? Yep, the manuscripts tell us that
its exactly what he tried before when that war in the past had
happened - he set up a government of his own, much like the one he plans to set up and run again in this age.
As its written, "there's nothing new under the sun".

Answer 8

Lucifer knew God in all His glory. For Lucifer and the other angels to rebel despite what they knew about God, shows their wickedness. The fallen angels seem completely devoted to opposing God and attacking God's people. The Bible tells us that one of the things God judges on is how much knowledge of Him a person possesses (Luke 12:48). The fallen angels, then, are much more deserving of God’s wrath because of the exceedingly great knowledge they had about God.

Answer 9

Satan is a myth. However, the reason that Satan does not repent in the myth is that he would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.

Answer 10

Peter = is the only man in Bible called "Satan"; AND told
WHEN(not if) thou art converted, then strengthen brethren.

He did repent, got converted by the Pauline Epistles,
which he notes and talks about in his own 2nd epistle.

Law = "both good and evil"... ends with "evil".
Grace = good only, never evil...ends good(only)

GRACE(ONLY) with you all. Amen.
