The Fallen Angels
During our group projects today Adelae brought
up a great point about archangels and the question of whether they can still
repent and be saved or if that is a salvation only possible for humans in
Milton’s Paradise Lost. I wanted to
know, from a perspective of someone who is not as informed on religion as most,
if you guys think Satan could be saved if he had ever decided to repent? There
are two different sides the way I see it. The first would be that there has to
be a line somewhere that defines the savable from the un-savable. I feel as
though Satan has crossed that line multiple times so he does not deserve to be
saved should he so choose. But then again, God is the almighty and powerful. So
does that mean Satan can be saved since God has the capability to forgive those
that do wrong? And then, do all the other fallen angels like Beelzebub and Mammon
have a chance for redemption when none of them seem particularly interested in
bowing down to God’s grace? I am having a hard time distinguishing from the strength
of God’s capability to forgive, and the certainty of how I feel they should be
forever condemned.
