Why can Satan never be redeemed?

[LilyPotter]

This question never entered my mind before, but since someone wrote about Satan could never repent or something like that, now I wonder.

Why is there no posibility of redemption for Satan or demons? If Satan and demons are beings created by God and were originally good, why is it now never possible for them to repent?

I seriously doubt that Satan wants to repent. His pride would never allow him to. IMO

Satan is still trying to win a battle that he will never win. As Popo said ... it his his pride.

There are governing laws in heaven and in earth. It is the merciful that obtain mercy. You plant what you reap, you reap what you plant.

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

Job 38:33 (KJV)

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Jude 1:13 (KJV)

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matt 25:41 (KJV)

Our salvation has eternal rewards, and evil has everlasting consequences, there is a fairness there, the righteousness of the Lord.

More simply put, JESUS died for human beings who will only turn to HIM under the influence of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Satan does not have an advocate, a savior, or an intercessor who will change his nature.

GOD made him to show the total holiness of GOD by being all that GOD is not. In the end, he will be separated from GOD as a way of glorifying that aspect of GOD.

Satan is a fallen angelic being. He is not offered salvation. Jesus didn't go to the cross for him and his sin. He went to the cross to destroy him--and won. Satan is an already defeated foe. The blood of Jesus is only a cover for those human beings who receive it.

I like your reply better than mine.

Satan will never be redeemed because GOD will not send him a savior. This is a point most people don't realize. That is GOD does does not have to save us, nor did he have to send his Son. Angels are more excellent and stronger than us (2 Peter 2:11) yet "God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment," 2nd Peter 2:4. So to put it simply, Satan cannot be redeemed because God in his sovereign good pleasure has decided not to save Him.

By Jesus own words in John 16:11 Satan has already been judged. There is no chance for redemption once that happens. Matthew 25:41 says that hell was prepared for the devil and his angels. If a place of eternal judgement has already been prepared for Satan, then how can escape what has already been decided.

God does not change or go back on what has been promised. He promises eternal life for everyone, but the question is where will you spend it. Satan already knows his end and he intends to take as many with him as he can.

I did a Google on this and discovered the Orthodox Jewish beliefs about Satan are not the same as Christian beliefs. TBH, the Jewish belief made more sense to me. Basically, the Jewish belief is that Satan is not in conflict with God. He is God's agent sent to tempt us. Those who resist his temptations prove their devotion to God. As in Job, Satan is given the explicit parameters for causing Job's pain. (Although I've never been thrilled to think of God outlining those things that happened to Job.)

Anyway, it makes more sense to me than Satan being a once-holy being created by God for a holy purpose, who rebelled. Don't throw tomatoes at me, just hear me.
