Why cant Satan and demons repent?

[Chiquita]

Here is Lucifers sin. His sin was pride. For thou art hast said in thine heart, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT MY THRONE above the stars of God: I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL BE like the most High."

God said to Lucifer, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (Ezekiel 28:15).

Lucifer wanted to knock God off His Throne and take over Gods Kingdom. He convinced one third of God's angels to join him in his quest.

In Isa. 14:12-14 we have statements which cannot possibly of an earthly King. The passage is universally refering to the fall of Satan. We can quote it and note the facts.

"How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which dist weaken the nations! For thou art hast said in thine heart, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN, I WILL EXALT MY THRONE above the stars of God: I WILL sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I WILL ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL BE like the most High," Now note the following facts this passage proves of Satan:

I know some people that full of pride and wont repent from their ways. They refuse to admit they are wrong because they believe they are "intelligent" enough to make their decisions and stand by them therefore, rejecting repentance and God. They glorify themselves as intellectuals. This would be the same thing Lucifer did - plain ol' pride - "I know better than you".

This is an awesome question/post, by the way!

Very interesting question! The unpardonable sin yes. Predestination? So repentance, no!

The scriptures do not specify why. Just that they won't

Why cant Satan and demons repent and thus be forgiven and back with God?

They are not "living souls." They were made perfect, made to serve God, and they chose to stand against God. Their imperfection can not now be redeemed. We are made living souls and are born (because of original sin) imperfect. We have the ability to choose, and we choose between life and death. Satan has made his choice, he no longer has another. (IMO)

[Smalcald]

Not only did they choose, they choose now, they tempt us now, they are right now in open rebellion. Scripture as has been pointed out, says that this is what they will do to the very end.

I think Satan is the definition of blaspheme against the Holy Spirit.

Scripture never tells us that they do believe that God is more powerful, being the kings of liars it is doubtful that they would believe even God, it is likely that they feel they will win.
