Does God Love Satan?

@1234567890a yes but if there was no satan that make God pointless

@Carlisle God doesn’t need satan to make His existence meaningful.

@1234567890a well he obviously does his whole existence revolves around getting rid of the devil.

@Carlisle God exsisted before Satan and he was always God. Thats what God means.
God does not need Satan

@REMsleep Well said

@1234567890a If god hates satan then he has broken his own commandment to love ones' enemies. Unless you want to use a special pleading fallacy.

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
"Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."

Thus God bears all things for God is love.

@REMsleep they aren’t actually real though. I mean it’s more philosophical really.

@Carlisle Ok that is your belief but even so a Supreme being by nature wouldn't need another being to validate him.

@canusernamebemyusername that’s a good point. He can perfectly hate the sin and love the creation. That is true.

@REMsleep luckily there is no such thing.

@1234567890a Fair enough.

Can I hate Satan though??lol.@canusernamebemyusername

@1234567890a I mean really it’s hating a part of yourself.
Everyone is capable of being both. If we couldn’t do evil or be like satan we wouldn’t need God.
So like my original point is they need each other.

@Carlisle God allows satan to exist. Satan serves a purpose for a short time. He will never be redeemed. Everything created glorifies God and His purposes.

@Carlisle I think Satan needs God to exist, but God doesn't need Satan to exist. If God didn't love Satan then Satan simply wouldn't exist. If God didn't love Creation, including humanity, then none of it would exist. My trouble with God loving Satan is that, if God truly does love Satan, which it seems as if He does, then why is Satan meant to be punished and destroyed? How can one destroy another, especially their own creation, out of love? And why can't God simply make it so that Satan would be redeemed if God is omnipotent?

@1234567890a feel like I’m being converted 😵‍💫
Like
It’s ok
Whatever you need to feel ok it’s cool. I get it.

@Carlisle I’m stating what it says in the Bible. Nope just trying to answer the question.

@Carlisle Your beliefs and opinions are valid and it's cool to see what other people think.

@InvictusIndigo there has to be a good reason why God chooses to redeem humans but not the angels.

@1234567890a yes there’s more than one book and there’s books against and for and everyone is fighting over religion and which one is better and blah blah blah.
Just take it for what it is.
It’s something that provides a catharsis for people who have deep rooted unresolved psychological stuff.
And then it’s like ok. Do what you got to do.

@1234567890a That reason is 1/3 of the angels rebelled against God being led by Satan… rebellion against God is sin. They were cast out of heaven are hell bound along with Satan who was the most beautiful angel among them… he was called a light bearer. He thought in his heart to become as high as God himself…

2/3 of those angels have never sinned and are still in heaven and many even walk among us… They do not need to be redeemed.

The Bible says be careful how you entertain strangers for some have entertained angels unaware.

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Hebrews 13:2

@1234567890a God loves everyone, including Satan, however, He hates his evil, sinful ways, for which Satan refuses to repent. Satan was one of God's most beautiful angels in the beginning, that rebelled against him and tried to take over the throne and all of Heaven and the angels.
