A friend of mine just told me that he has been praying for Satan that God would love him and have mercy on this enemy just as Jesus said he should. 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matt 5:43&44

Your friend sounds ignorant about God and Lucifer’s relationship. Praying for human enemies is one thing, praying for a being that threw humanity into rebellion is quite another.

I use to think about this. But this dude convinced a third of the angels to rebel against God WHILE living in His presence. Satan has actively sought out to wipe any image of God out of existence. he despises us and God. He's convinced he will win this war. He will never consider forgiveness because he's blinded by his own arrogance.

Go ahead, is Satan your enemy ?
Just answer Yes or No.
Did Jesus tell you love your enemy ?
Did Jesus say that there was a distinction between the enemy and the Americans and the Gentiles?

You are completely wrong to use the conclusions of Revelation to push down Jesus' words.

Revelation means Enlightening thinking in Chinese.

You are correct in pointing out Bible contradictions which is why you should take the essence of the Bible as a whole not just one verse here and there.
The essence of the Bible says that there’s no hope for Satan and he will be cast in fire.

Have you never thought that the word of God is the word of the living?

Even if God says to put Satan into the lake of fire, if Satan is obedient to God's word, then God's word is the word of life.:unsure:

No. Satan's demise is already certain. We are called to resist the devil, stand against him and his works. Hell was created for the devil and his angels. Have no sympathy for Satan. He was in the very presence of God, the covering cherub, blessed above all others. The people of the world are born blind to God. They need our prayers. Satan sealed his own destiny when he rebelled against God. There is no plan of salvation for fallen angels and the devil.

So, do you pray for Satan? Will you contribute to this thread more than just the orrigional post?

the problem with praying for satan is that Jesus only died for humans. not angels. because of this angels have no atonement for their sins.

It’s possible for God to forgive Satan because there are no limits to God’s abilities, however it’s not possible for Satan to want anything to do with God’s forgiveness.
That’s why Jesus Christ says in
Matthew 25:41,
"Depart from me, ye cursed, into EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels.",” because they’re the ones who aren’t ever coming back home to the Kingdom.

Yes I agree, Satan has sealed his fate. God's word will fulfill itself and Satan's fate is already set by the word of The Almighty.
