In religion concept, the angel of death is not clear. Does angel of death refers to Satan, Devil or Lucifer? We do believe that Lucifer is one of the angels of God. Due to his ambitions to replace the Almighty, he did a lot of things to obtain the power. In the long run, he was thrown in the fires of hell. For some reason, he created his own kingdom. But it is not idealistic to be in that place. The question is, why God didn't give him another chance to repent from his mistakes? What do you think?

It wasn`t only ambition; it was also what is behing ambition. Pride is the only true sin that cannot be accepted. Other sins are due to our animal nature, this one isn`t. Greeks talked about ubris, pride. That the reason why the angel fell, according to the tale.

I don't think that Satan was even resentful for the things that he has done. So how can God forgive anyone when he is not even sorry for screwing around?

if Lucifer was indeed remorseful how come there is still evil in this world? he could have stopped his minions and stop evil himself right??

Well, obviously Lucifer has done pretty bad things for which he didn't even get the chance of forgiveness even though it is said that god forgives everyone. Guess, Lucifer didn't care enough to seek forgiveness. In a way it balances everything, where there is good there is bad. So it checks out.

Actually God give him a chance to repent. That is why He is thrown now in the world because he already disturbed all the angels in the heaven. Have you observe what's happening in our planet? The devil is here, he wants to prove himself that people praises only God because He give us more blessing in the past. So now, his task is to mislead people from God. But God will ruin him after the limited time of being a liar.

Well, as the fable goes, Lucifer was an angel. Supposedly the right hand to God himself. But he was supposedly cast out because he wanted to take over the imaginary kingdom. So he was cast down to hell. Thus creating his own kingdom. To me this is all a joke.

That God foresaw the Satan being proud doesn't mean he created the Devil. Satan was given free will. Satan chose to be proud and put himself above God. Satan didn't know that God knew he would be proud and turn into the Devil. Just because I can predict what you will do tomorrow doesn't mean that I made you like that.

But by the time God gives 2 choices to Satan, God knows and ready to accept which side would Satan prefers....
And besides, Satan tempted humans to make a sin for a trillion times and God never do some any actions to delete Satan,
Whereas, a human being commits a mortal sin for once then a barbecue in the fires of hell.
By the way, mass killings of Noah's Flood, the Red Sea, the Pestilence of Egypt are all done by devil Satan?

No one tempted Satan to try to place himself above God. That was his own arrogance. Since he continues to war against God, nothing has changed. God knows Satan. He is the father of liars and there is no repentance in him.
