God loves Satan....I'm just saying

[Wesrock]

I understand why you would think that, but its not consistent with God’s nature. Yes God does use evil against itself.

However, God’s nature is love. God doesn’t stop loving someone becuase that would require a change in his nature. God loves everybody in hell. His nature doesn’t change, his love is not conditional.

I think it must be said that He loves them insofar as they have being, but the moral evils they’ve committed are contrary to God, and no one is perhaps so far morally opposed to the good than Satan.

It is certainly wrong to say that being in Heaven or Hell is irrelevant to the person. Hell is punishment. This doesn’t mean God has zero love for them.

God loves Satan…I’m just saying.

However, Satan is beyond redemption and is condemned forever.

Sometimes God uses Satan as a sort of enforcer. For example, the (Protestant) theologian Beverley LaHaye once theorized that God allowed Satan to almost destroy the United States during the 19th century as punishment for the sin of slavery.

Satan was a murderer and a liar from the beginning. If God would let him, he would destroy everyone right now. The level of hate that Satan and his demons have for us is beyond imagination. Satan and his demons show no mercy.

These feelings people have about wishing Satan and his lot would repent, change, might have some goodness, are well intended, felt by good people. They feel this way because you have mercy for people and God’s created creatures. But it is still misguided. It is a shame, but it won’t happen. This has been tossed around casually throughout the ages. The Saints speak of it, because they render such great assistance to God, that often daily they were attacked by Satan and his minions.

If you read what they have to say about them and their direct confrontations you would learn that truly there is not an ounce of compassion, love, or anything nearing that from the demons.

There are “good” or desirable things about Satan. He is knowledgeable and powerful. However, morally, Satan is not good. It is Lucifer’s own self-desire to become God that led him to reject God and be eternally damned. I do agree with you though that God still has love for Satan because God cannot hate a being, just the wrong actions those beings commit. God is all good.

 

[eddietoo]

maybe it depends on what you mean by God loving someone?

God’s love means, at least to me, that He will do everything in His power short of negating our free wills, to convince people to love Him. i believe that is also God’s relationship to the angels, both the good and the bad angels.

Well, there is an interesting background about it, i.e., given Job and the meaning of “Satan.” But in terms of evil, likely not.
