If The Devil Choose To Repent, Will God Forgive Him? by AfroMighty(m): 9:42am On Oct 14, 2018
Let's assume the devil decide to repent and go back to God for forgiveness, will God forgive him?...
Just like the scriptures said that God is ever forgiving and gracious...Will grace work for the devil also?...

It is not in the nature of Satan to repent...+ Christ did not die for him. Infact, it was ɓecause there was a Satan, the seconɗ personality in the Goɗ Head had to be ɓorn in the flesh and die.

spirits cannot be redeemed from sin. They are already in their final state therefore regeneration of the spirit which happens when a man becomes born again is impossible for spirits. This is also why there is no repentance available for man after death.

In addition, Satan already knew the law of God for he had great wisdom but he willfully sinned. The Bible said he was perfect in his ways till sin was found in him - Ezekiel 28:15. It was an unforgivable willful act despite knowledge of the consequences.

Moreover, salvation is only by faith in Jesus Christ. Once a person has seen the spiritual world that it exists after their death there no longer applies the principle of faith to such a person. His eyes have witnessed the invisible world where God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, angels, Satan and his demons reside. Faith for salvation can never be applied to spirit beings like the Devil because he not only knows the spiritual world but also dwells in it and has been dwelling in it from time immemorial.

In other words, the Devil is just living a countdown to his judgment.

Yes most definitely, i believe God would if his repentance is genuine. You see walking at the highest level of faith and the Spirit, i've come to learn that the three most defining things in life are repentance, righteousness and obedience of the word of God, and that every other thing is secondary to those things which i mentioned in sight of God. And i gonna treat this comprehensively in a related topic of mine but i would just give an instance to explain this. It had to do with a king in the past called Hezekiah when he was sick. Now God had already pronunced death upon him via his prophet Isaiah but reversed his word because of obedience.2King 20:1-6).Now it rarely happens when God says a thing and reverses it but such things can make him do so.

Satan is unrepentable and so is unforgivable! His fate is sealed: Revelation 20:10; Matthew 25:41

SORRY, NO NO NO!!!!!!
HEZEKIAH WAS A FULL BLOODED MAN WHO SIN AS A SON OF ABRAHAM ENJOYING SAME COVENANT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND ISRAEL. Satan was and is a spirit who led free-willed angels to rebel against the will of God and have tried to undermine God's good intent and purposes for man and other creations.
GOD IS VERY GOOD, KIND-HEARTED AND TOLERANT TO STILL LET SATAN MOVE FREELY TO ANTAGONISE GOD'S PEOPLE AND THEIR DESTINY.
TRUTH IS: GOD SHOULD FINISH SATAN ALREADY for us to have an enduring peace and real comfort.

Where did you get the idea that the devil is evil or is independent of God?...

Be careful what you say or type... You are indirectly Insulting God by insinuating he is a monster by Creating an evil being to torment his children..

Learn the truth... No matter how uncomfortable it is..

Satan has been suffering since God took him down to hell what made you think he hasn't asked for forgiveness
Bible is baseless

What ever happens on earth is God's will, nobody can change or alter it.. The devil is not a dual opposite of God.. To think so is insulting to God.. Putting his creation equal to him..

God is sovereign and has control over all his creation.. The devil is not an exception..

Every thing wey devil dey do, na wetin God tell am to do...

If God willed for event A to happen, the devil can't change it to B..

It is God who creates both good and evil, if he sends the devil to carry it out does not mean it is the devils decision.. It is God that decides everything whether good or bad.. Isaiah 45:1-10

There you go again with prophesies, that i said could be reversed by virtue of obedience. Now who was Satan before he became the enemy of God? So if Satan could possibly change from good to become evil, obedient to become disobedient what makes you feel that he can not go back to who he used to be beforehand? If you ask me i would say that it was more impossible for Satan to turn to who is than for him to turn back to who he used to be. Who ever knew that spirits could possibly change? And do think that if that happens that God would not forgive him? Seriously? Then you do not know who God is and i can take to the instance of Job, i believe that if that was not recorded in you wouldn't believe it either. See i've met with the real Satan several and he dreads me more than most of those you call man of God and yet i'm not fully out yet.So when i say these things i know what i'm saying

See i've never met you before from your speech but i can already tell the kind of person you are. You are a church goer who knows the church language very well but you have not truly repented and it's people like you that the devil like to torment and do whatever he likes with. Satan wouldn't have any power over the earth or man but thru man's disobedience so even if the devil's fate's sealed what about yours?

Repent of what exactly? Repentance is meant for those who sin. So, what sin did the devil commit that he would need to seek repentance for? undecided
