SOLVE THIS PARADOX: If God Is Merciful And Forgiving Why Can't He Forgive Satan by XXXXTENTACION: 2:16pm On Nov 29, 2020
In the bible we are told that God is merciful, caring and forgiving and that if we are able to repent and ask for forgiveness he would forgive us in his infinite mercy.


In that same bible we are told that Jesus died for sinners. And that through Jesus our sins are washed away.

all these and various thoughts running through my mind and then a question pops up.


Why Can't God Forgive Satan


You know since it was God that created satan don't you think you think it should be easy for God to forgive and move on.


OR


Does God hate satan


Invariably if God hates satan it the goes ahead to contradict the bible ( which says that God is love and that God cannot commit evil) we all know hatred is an evil to do.


OR


lets say God loves satan. If God loves satan. Then God should be able to find easy to forgive.

Did Satan ask GOD for forgiveness? No.
Rather, his heart was more exalted against GOD to even raise himself far above GOD to be like GOD. Which even increased his fall.

Secondly, spirits are direct beings. They do not have a heart like humans to feel remorse for their wrongdoings. And since Satan had chosen his own way, there is no going back for him and all the fallen angels.

First of all you need to start going to sunday school classes, it's obvious you never did even as a kid. Cos that's where such questions are answered.
Secondly God forgives only those who repent & submit to Him.

There is no such being as Satan...he is a Christian creation just to keep the money coming in .

Whatever happens, happens because it is the will of God. He is responsible for both good and evil. He created evil as a learning tool.

It is also not written anywhere in the Bible that Satan requires God's forgiveness. God never mentioned Satan sinning against Him, God, anywhere in the Bible.

Simple, There is No Repentance After Final Judgment has been Entered!

The Proper Place for Pardon, Forgiveness and Mercy Should Be Before Judgment and Not after it, for the Court will Close the case forever after Judgment!

And Once Judgement is Given, it is immediately enforced and once enforced, That Case Is Settled Forever!

A Person who is Penitent, Always Shows his Penitence.

And the Clear Indication of Satans Unrepentance is shown in the fact that he does not Regret his evil Conduct, for, he still Continues to Do every imaginable evil and still teaches others to do likewise.

Satan committed a sin unforgivable..and the only unforgivable sin is the sin against the Holy Spirit.

“Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven” (vv. 31–32).

- Matthew 12:22–32

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is committed when people knowingly deny the claims of Christ and attribute to Satan the work of our Savior. This is a sin that true Christians cannot commit, for all who are justified are also glorified (Rom. 8:29–30)

He paraded himself as high and mighty than the creator.
Ezekiel 28:14-19;
28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
