What if all the Christians prayed for Satan's salvation?

Question

If god forgave Satan and there was no longer a "battle between good and evil" would that solve everything?

Answer 1

No!
Mankind became sinful because of it's sly ways.
He is already judged and his destiny is already written in the Holy Bible and not The Lambs book of Life.

Answer 2

First observation, you capitalized the "S" in satan but not the "g" in God. Next God forgives those who are truely sorry and repent, we do not know if satan is capable of doing this. If however satan is capable of doing this, I do believe God would forgive him, however I don't think this would solve everything because humans are very capable of evil on thier own.

Answer 3

Actually, God and Satan seem to be pretty good friends in the Book of Job.

I cannot find anything in the Bible about God damning Satan, though he does tempt Jesus....

Most of what we "know" of Satan, or Lucifer, comes from Milton's "Paradise Lost." In this epic poem, Lucifer decides that he would rather "reign in hell than serve in heav'n." So, it sounds like those praying for Satan's salvation would be wasting their time.



I sometimes wonder where people get their ideas about the devil.....

Answer 4

Sure it would solve everything, but you see, Satan already had it all in Heaven. He already was one of God's highest angels and held in high esteem. He thought he was better than God, His Creator, and he not only rebelled against God, but he took many angels with him. As a result of what he has done, billions of people throughout history have done evil acts and have hurt one another. Because of Satan, Jesus Christ had to leave His Heavenly throne to pay the penalty for our sin, in a most excruciating, horrible death on a cross. Satan relished that moment and enjoyed every bit of it. He is the reason why Christ had to die to begin with. Satan rejected God the first time, he tempted Christ later on when he offered to give Jesus, the Son of God who had omnipotent power, anything His heart desired if He would just worship Satan. He instigated the people to kill the Son of God and relished the moment of His death. He has continued to persecute all of mankind and to harden the hearts of others into persecuting Christians, even to the point of death.

No, there is no forgiveness for Satan. WE can be forgiven because we have good in us as well as evil. We can choose to reject Satan and follow God. Satan is pure evil. He has no good in him and therefore cannot be redeemed. He has made his choice to turn against God, to rebel against Him, to kill His Son, to persecute His followers and to wreak evil in the form of hatred, war, death, disease and every other horrible bad thing imaginable, upon this perfect planet that God made without blemish. Satan will not stop his evil deeds until such time as God stops him for good. The Bible says that is how it will be because God already knows Satan's heart. It cannot change. It is evil to the core. He has made his bed of sulfur - he can lie in it.......and he WILL.

Answer 5

When a Christian prays a prayer that violates the scriptures that is exactly what he she is doing. You do not have to address your prayer to Satan to be praying to him. All you need to do is go against the will of God and you will find yourself at his service. Why do you call satan god of the netherworld? God bless you richly

Answer 6

Not a change. God has warned us about satan for a good reason.

God would forgive satan if he asked forgiveness and accepted Him as Lord and Savior. God knows satan and knows that this is not going to happen, so I take God's warning seriously. : )

Answer 7

There's one very vital prerequisite that's missing here: a person would have to ask for forgiveness, and would have to accept and seek salvation.

Satan has done neither, and never will. Hence, what you're asking about is not worth talking about.

Answer 8

Satan is kind of a tragic hero. I mean, he saw God as a friend and mentor and when God became preoccupied with the humans, he experienced a very human emotion: Jealousy. He desired God's attention, but when God gave it to the humans, he rebelled against God.

The point is, he wasn't really evil, just more human than the other angels. I think he has a chance at redemption.

Answer 9

That we'll never know..

We don't know how prayers work.

I believe that with God everything is possible.

Perhaps it is God's plan.. the same as how God made the Pharaoh in Egypt so stubborn to show His Glory to all.

God bless us all

Answer 10

Satan rebelled against God, and is now working in direct opposition to Gods will. The only way that he could be forgiven is if he genuinely repented and turned back to God.
