A while ago I was having a conversation with someone and she pointed out to me that Satan was not the one who sinned in the garden of Eden. She also said that human beings are constantly blaming others for their mistake and wrongdoings. Why can't we take full responsibility for what we do. No offense to her but after the conversation was over I gave it some thought and the only thing which came to mind is that by thinking this way I would be in agreement in believing that Satan has done no wrong and should not be blamed for deceiving Eve in the garden. I have read the bible a few times and I am no scholar, I have not studied theology but I am just like every one else who have picked up the bible and read it. I have never read that God forgave Satan for the fall of mankind nor was it a minor deed in which Satan should be forgiven.
In a second conversation I am told that Satan was Gods first son. So if one person believes this then this would mean that there is a slew of others who thinks and believe this way. All of my understanding and belief comes from the bible.
Ezekiel 28:2, Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, thus saith the Lord God; because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God: 3 behold thou art wiser than Daniel ; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 4, with thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thine treasures: 5, By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 6, Therefore thus saith the Lord God; because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7, Behold , therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. 8, They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas. 9, Wilt thou yet say before him that slay thee, I am God, but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slay thee. 19, Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
12, Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of tyre and say unto him, thus saith the Lord God; thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13, Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the Sardis, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold; the workmanship of thy tablets and thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou was created.
14, Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15, Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
17, Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reasons of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18, Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic ; therefore will I bring forth a fire from within thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19, All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13, For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the north:
14, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most high.
15, Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16, They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
17, That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
18, All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house.
19, But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet.
20, Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
21, prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
It looks to me that their is no forgiveness for Satan nor for the angels which rebelled against God. But God sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for us so that our sins should be forgiven us to as many as believe in him. There is no way that Satan could be Gods first son because Jesus and God were here from the beginning of time. In genesis when God said" let us make man in our image he was not talking to the angels, nor was he talking to the Cherubs because they are created beings. The only person that God was talking to at that moment was Jesus Christ because Jesus was here with God from the beginning of time. John1:3 All things were made by him: and without him was not anything made
4, In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
10, He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11, He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12, But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
John 14:6 And jesus said; I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh to the father but by me.
