@mousy,

No there is nothing that is unforgivable, at least not in the God I believe in. The problem is that many people do not repent their actions, then truely you won't be forgiven, but only because you have yet to ask.

In my understanding of Satan, he is not a fisical person, but the very concept of temptation. I believe he is used as a "scapegoat" to the question of the origin of sin.

@mousy,

When people sin it hardens their hearts so that it makes them feel as if they arent worthy of being forgiven or are "too dirty" to be forgiven. We continue to feel guilty and it makes us feel like God will never forgive us.

Remember that The Bibles greatest prophets were murderers. Moses, Paul, King David were all used by God after commiting great sins.

God forgives if we only ask, turn from our ways and follow him.

Did the Concept originate in God?

The question in itself is already self-absorbed

Human beings were born good, we are- that is why we're called "Ambivalent Beings"; but, beings look up to greater beings- that is why we're called transcendant

so,

It is stupid to compare actions of people making mistakes to something that symbolizes EVERY mistake---- it's stupid[obviously].So the proposition isn't Satan finding damnation, IT REPRESENTS damnation.

@mousy,

There are many different versions of Satan /Lucifer.

Something as simple as being an angel that tempts humanity to do the "wrong" things to an entity almost as powerful as God himself. Lucifer's main sin is that he represents "questioning" of God.

The odd thing is that if Satan is as powerful as God (since God can't destroy him - war through eternity) then Christianity is a polytheistic religion.

White skin? Superior? Entitlement to heinous acts...
For you biblical readers...Earth is a parallel of what Heaven must have been like with a vain angel
