Satan and the lake of fire

gallenwalsh:
Regarding the lake of fire and Satan and his dominions, Ray has stated that God will make Satan repent. I know that certain angles ( messengers) left their first position given to them by God.This was their sin. I realize they were created as dark spirits( evil). Has ray stated what he thinks their first position was?Does anyone think Satan will become nice by his part in the lake of fire?

Duane:

I don't think "nice" is the correct word but "purified" is--and his behavior will be dictated by that.
(Hey, thanks to Andrew's visit, this is my first attempt at "cut and paste"--yeah!)

Hmmmmmm,.....never thought of it that way Kat.I thought that God created the darkness, that darkness being Satan and his dominion.That they were never enlightened Never understood why demons want to occupy humans . Just do not get it.and to have 1000's of them in one human, are they that bored? Are we not we bad enough all by ourselves without having that plague to haunt us? So who was dark first Satan or us?

I don't think the passage you are referring to is speaking of spiritual beings, but men:

Jude 1:4-8  For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ. But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.

The excerpts in bold all refer to men (certain men crept in unnoticed; Lord destroying those out of Egypt; 'as Sodom and Gomorrah'; dreamers defiling the flesh).

I remember a good piece of advice from Ray regarding hard to understand scriptures: look at the scriptures before and after the one in question. All the scriptures before angels leaving their abode talks about evil men, as do the scriptures after.


Hope this helps,
