Do you think that God will or could ever forgive Satan? If He did what would this mean for mankind?

Surely if God is all forgiving He would forgive Satan? What are you thoughts on this, educate a pleb biggrin.gif

I imagine God has forgiven Satan long ago - it would be Satan's choice not to return to the fold....

We don't actually know what Satan did to need forgiveness. He "fell" - but what does that mean, behind the image?

I can't imagine a limit to God's forgiving nature. But I suspect that humankind lives out its span in a time "between" - in the already-but-not-yet, in the incomplete and imperfect, and so I don't think humanity as we know it could experience this change. Perhaps, at the end of all things, it would not make much difference to us if Satan were banished or reinstated; the conflict we perceive between good and evil would be ended.

Considering this is hypothetical, I would say that God forgives all those who repent.

Satan has not repented and has no intention of being 'good'.
