Seagoon brought this up in a previous thread. Question------

The Serpent of Old I am assuming he is referring to is Satan. Satan is not God, so going on that assumption, could we also assume that Satan could ask for redemption....and if he asked for redemption would he be forgiven?.......or

Is it just a fantastical tale to keep you boys in line?

Satan isn't designed to ask for redemption.

satan is in your heart john9001, and mine too.  it is built in to us all and it is called the "animal".  Humanity and the "animal" are sperate entities existing in the sam bio mass and they constantly fight one another resulting in much damage.

Can satan ask for redemption?  would be a hell of a twist to the plot wouldn't it!  But I believe the intelligent answer would be yes.

given the dualistic nature of the question and the observance of general relativity one might postulate that should god decde not forgive him, god would then immediately switch places with satan.

satan = ignorance of spirit,darkness

darkness = lack of Light, not understanding the illusion of the material world and the  false conception of you and I as not One

we are all full of this ignorance or else we would not allow one Brother to live on a trash heap in a cardboard box in India while the other Brother lives in a 50,000 sq ft house, has more cars than they can drive while blowing thousands on egotistical possesions and events ...

one day maybe we will all get it and live in peace, harmony and love ... just ain't gonna be that day any day soon... in the meantime say hello to your own satan, we all carry it around
