    Set out running but I'll take my time

    A friend of the Devil is a friend of mine

    If I get home before daylight

    I just might get some sleep tonight…

    The devil is not going to be forgiven. Read the Bible.

    Forgiveness and love is to be extended to people, not fallen angels. The devil gets no love or forgiveness. He hates you and wants you in hell, and your life painfully destroyed on the way there.

    .

    The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.

    The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

    The question of God hate or love devil doesn't concern to either God or devil. God and devil both know that devil broke the good will of God, and the devil knows very well that he got doomed for ever by disobeying God. The end result is for the devil eternal punishment for the devil, which devil knows pretty well. The cause of eternal damnation of the devil is man, I..e Adam, the first man. Life is existing, and will exist till Doomsday. Until then devil betrays, misleads mankind, the progeny of Adam to entice evil and to cause doom. The aim of devil is when he is dammed for hell, he wants to take as many mankind, the progeny of Adam into hell. At hell, the matter of devil will not finish! It starts, for eternal damnation, for ever, which the devil very well knows. The main discontent is devil's refusal to obey God's command, this is the bottom line. The devil's view is no one is worth of prostration except God. That's why devil didn't prostrated to Adam when God commanded the assembly of the angels and devil in heaven. Additionally God, being very kind asked the devil the cause of disobeying God's command(to protray Adam). Instead of extending sorry or apology to God, devil argued with God, “why should I prostray Adam who is made of clay, and me made of fire? “

    This disobedience angered God and devil became the outcast.

    you are willing to forgive the devil, but not actual people that has done you wrong. Does that make any since?

    Excellent question. Christians are expected to love everyone (though I have not seen that), so one would expect that they are to love Satan.

    The religious would view that as quite the opposite.

    Although those who view G*D as ALL Powerful, ALL knowing, etc.

    It should be noted that G*D the Creator of ALL Things, must have also created the Devil (Satan), And The ALL POWERFUL G*D must want Satan (Devil) or G*D would not allow it to exist...

    So, G*D must be having us on... especially those who claim to be G*D's workers, and G*D's representative on Earth.

    Every wonder how G*D allows "his House" to be bombed, or burned, or his people slaughtered?

    No it's most certainly not a sin to hate Satan because he is the devil and if you knew anything about the devil, you'd it's impossible for him to be good.
