What if Satan repented?
I was reading the bible and for some odd reason i thought about Satan. ANd the question came to mind - "what if Satan were to repent of what he was doing and ask Jesus into his heart and ask for forgiveness?" Could Jesus save even Satan?

✞✞✞ No....Because of the fact that satan made the decision on his own to go against God without any outside influence.....satan will never change his ways because it is against his nature. A nature, in which he chose, knowing the truth, he chose to believe a lie and to exalt himself above the very God of heaven. Therefore, God turned him over to his nature, never to be changed, just as he did with those found in Romans 1:20-32, who knowing the truth, chose not to serve God, but to follow their lusts. he does not know he is evil because that's what he is.

He could not. Satan and the evil angels are condemned forever.
The Angels were given One Single commitment to obey the Lord God.
There was a battle against the Angels who wanted to disobey God .
The disobedient dissidents also knew they had only one chance to
decide their own fate and that it would be permanent.
Angels have an Intelligence Quotient naturally perfect. We cannot
comprehend the perfection of this intelligence, the saints have
described it, but it is to know the content of every book written, every
scientific and math figure solved. They do not know the future beyond
what we are given to know, they cannot read our minds or know our
souls. They can anticipate our temptations and assist us in warding
them off if we ask them. Every man has his own permanent Guardian
Angel for this purpose.
The Evil Angels retained their intelligence quotient when they were
sent to Hell. That intelligence is the reason that they were not given
the many chances which Man is given to repent over and over. We
are weak, and sin made us weaker. We need a Guardian Angel
and the sanctifying graces of Contrition and Baptism, through which
God forgives us over and over and over....
After the Last Judgment, the devils will be shut into Hell permanently.
In heaven the saints will have no memory of them and their victims.
Today they roam the world seeking souls and tempting them to sin.

>>>>>no satan cannot be Saved. He has doomed himself. He is not a created human like we are. Jesus died for us not satan. satan is an enemy of God. He hates us and God. Just think of every horror that you can think of, what Jeffrey Dahmer did, Ted Bundy, Jack the ripper,John Wayne Gacey etc, that was satan's child play. I don't think you realize the true evil that satan is. He will get his reward in the end, read Revelation. Not to mention satan wouldn't want to repent anyway, he's to evil for that.

I always find it odd that people, after reading the Bible still think that Satan is the enemy of God. Satan is not the enemy of God he is the enemy of man. Anyone who has read the book of Job can see that God and Satan play the roles of Judge and D.A. respectively, with Jesus being the defense of man.

Clearly Satan wasn't as evil as the God of the OT who murdered far more people & bragged about creating evil--so perhaps the Jewish God should repent & seek forgiveness from mankind!
Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women . . . "
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:
the LORD do all these things.

It 's too late, John 16:11 = Of judgement, because the prince of this world is judged.
Satan was a chief angel in the kingdom of God but bec. of his obsession to be equal to God not knowing that God can read his heart. Together with many angels who who were not submitted to the righteousness of God, they were thrown out from heaven, attacking us like a roaring leon, walking about, seeking whom he may devour. 1PETER 5:8
Same thing as what happen in the spiritual world, here on earth also have the same as there:
ROMANS 10:3 = For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves in the righteousness of God.
ROMANS 10:2 = For a bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. ( There are many, that established their own church, preaching the gospel desiring to be the teacher of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.1TIMOTHY 1:7)
JOHN 8:44 = Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do He was a murderer from the beginning and adobe not in the truth, because there is no truth in him, when he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.
They are the false teacher of the law:
MATTHEW 23:15 = Woe, unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16 = Woe unto you, ye blind guides,.....
Be careful, so that you may not fall into the ditch, there is a real sent by God, he speak the words of God: JOHN 7:17

Satan is reprobate, not elect.
Read this: JUD 1:6 And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
Satan has already been condemned. He was elected to reprobation not salvation.

His will is in bondage with his nature, this is why Jesus said, "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit nor can a bad tree bear good fruit." Matthew 7
You also have a nature, it's evil. John 8:44 says men who aren't reconciled to God are of the devil, and are children of the devil and "objects of wrath." Eph 2. Your will is always in bondage to your nature, which means you have a free-will to do according to your evil nature.
This is why men cannot come to God, because they will not, because they hate God, because of their evil natures.
This is why you must be in Christ, because "all who are in Christ are a new creation..." 2 Cor 5
Also to help you is John 6:44 and John 6:65

i believe so. but Satan's sin was pride. he said in his heart that he would set himself up as 'The Most High'. so Satan was planning to overthrow God and take over.
i don't think Satan will ever repent of that pride. if he did, and that's a big if, i think God could forgive him.
i don't know about restoring his rank as the chief of all the angels in heaven, but i think God can forgive anyone who is repentant and sincere.
i just don't think Satan will ever be 'repentant and sincere'.

Satan would have to go through Chuck Norris before Jesus if he want to repent.
