Not all beliefs are total truths. Granted in this life if you believe in Satan and he is out to get you then guess what! Even when I read Jesus say that with the faith of a mustard seed you can command the mountains I can only interpret that as what ever we believe is our reality. As I see it GOD created all things and nothing that is; was created by anything other than GOD. For me to believe otherwise is painting a very small picture of GOD. The way I understand it Satan is just the representation of one half of a dualistic reality [pleasure, pain/ good, bad/ right, wrong/even in, out/ up, down/ hot, cold/ etc.] without the knowledge of one we can not percieve the other. So yes I believe that Agape love is loving unconditionally or all conditions and that would include evil. I also think that is exactly what Jesus purpose for dying on the cross was. Loving the man that is stomping your face in the ground while he is doing it. So to speak. Could it be that Jesus was here to learn a lesson himself while teaching by example? May be a bit much for a bookshelf GOD or that one in the box and I don't advise subscribing to the notion unless you have a really good grasp on Doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do, not because I might get caught if I don't FOOD FOR THOUGHT! GOD Bless and good ? .

The point is Lucifer can't ask for forgiveness, his Pride is to great..
Jesus will forgive all who accept him, human or spirit,
there has been no restrictions put on any being. He will turn his back on no one who wants to accept God's love from him.

Forgiveness, justification, sanctification and salvation is done for only humans by Jesus. Satan was already with God. He was in Heaven and he knew what God is about. He turned his back on God. It would be impossible for Satan to ask God for forgiveness. So no Satan and his demons will be cast into Hell. The future has already been planned and written by God.

No. There must be, and has always been, a basis for forgiveness in order to extend it. Thus, the ransom sacrifice. But that sacrifice was not for Adam, Eve, or Satan. It was for those descendants of Adam and Eve who were plunged into sin against their will.
There is absolutely no basis upon which to extend forgiveness to Satan.

Actually the theory is Lucifer is only banished to hell for 1,000 years after Armageddon. So after those 1,000 years he would be released. That sounds like forgiveness to me.
If Lucifer was destroyed that would be different..

No because Lucifer was an angelic being, salvation was for mankind.

in Islam, I think it is base on hadith, there is one time satan stood in of Adam's grave, he ask god how god can forgive him, god said u need to respect/honour(dont know the correct word) Adam and admit adam is better than him, at last satan refuse to do it.

no
Satan ( Lucifer) willingly disobeyed God. And he was not repentant.

very simply, yes. God loves Lucifer, just as he loves all. If not mistaken, it says this.
