I have always mulled over this question in my mind. God is all loving and very compassionate, we sin against him in ways unimaginable yet he always forgives us and even blesses us. So why was lucifer’s case different, why didn’t he just forgive luckier and save us all the stress. He was God’s favourite angel. Why did one mistake make him the worst devil? God loves forgiveness and second chances, why didn’t Satan get any?

This question was also on quora and this were some of the answers i got

The tl; dr of it all is that Satan doesn’t want a second chance.

What people don’t understand about this relationship is that Satan wants to be God. He wants the glory, the worship, but not the stress and work. This is why he’s not the savior. But he fell from God’s presence because of pride. In his mind, he hasn’t lost. He can’t lose as long as there is someone willing to sin and there are so many willing!

Satan is known as the father of lies. Like any good liar, he knows the truth but chooses not to believe it. After everything is said and done, he will stand as the Accuser and drag everyone through their worst moments and expect, at the end that we will choose to follow him in overthrowing the kingdom of heaven because Satan is still better than God.

This is why pride is my favorite sin. It is Lucifer’s sin and when you let it, it completely distorts your perception of reality.

Lucifer could ask forgiveness any time. He never will. The heavens weep over this.

A great question, and classical ontology offers a rather dry and textbook answer.

It defines an angel as pure intelligence, a rational creature with the power of will unencumbered by a body requiring perception to pass through the senses and be decoded by a neural system (as is the case with humans).

For this reasons, an angel perceives the nature of reality (or truth) immediately, and its act of will is full and decisive, not belabored by appetites (of flesh) or confusion (from incomplete perception of a given situation).

So classical ontology explains that it is not so much that God did not give Satan or any angel a second chance, as much as He created in them a mode of existence for which a second chance is illogical and an impossibility. Any decision such a creature would make is complete and final – in essence a creature whose existence is defined by a single grasp of all reality and a single movement of will toward acceptance of or rebellion against an external truth (embracing it in love or rejecting it in hate).

By “classical ontology” I mean the concept of existence and being that the hellenistic philosophers (such as Aristotle) formulated about 2400 years ago, and which the medieval (11th – 13th century) philosphers and theologians expounded.

In short, the classic concept of the perfect being is one who exists entirely on his own merits esse per ipsum and not a created being whose existence has a beginning and end esse per aliud.

Of created entities, however, there is a scale of participation in perfect existence. So you have rocks, single-cell organisms, plants, invertebrates, mammals, rational animals (man).

If you accept the existence of angels (which this question assumes) then you are talking a rational creature without any material body. For man as a species, one principal of individuation is his body. For angels, which we equivocate with pure intelligence, there is no material individuation, and therefore Aquinas describes (in De Ente et Essentia) the concept that every angel is its own species.

So an angel has a beginning, but no body, and therefore, it does not live in what we call time, because, as the philosophers argued, time only makes sense in the context of material and space. Living outside of time is a mode of existence which voids the need for continual repetition of an imperfect decision.
