Can angels repent?

tonychanyt said:

Probably not.

By angels, I mean beings that exist in the spirit realm, including Satan.

Humans cannot directly observe the spirit existence of God. We do have the ability to choose to repent and be redeemed by Christ.

Angels can directly observe the spiritual existence of God. They can see that God exists. Yet, they choose to rebel against God.

Jesus says in Matthew 11:


Angels who see the realities of God and still rebel have no excuse. The Bible does not describe any redemptive plan for such beings. They seem to be incapable of repenting.

Jude 1:


If an angel falls, he is headed for judgment day.

‭‭‭Revelation‬ 20:


Humans are born in a fallen state of affairs, i.e., we cannot observe God directly. We are given a chance to repent. Angelic beings can observe God directly. They should know better. Once fallen, there is no chance to repent. Some humans will judge angels.

I agree with this, yet I put the onus on the angels, not Jesus Christ. What I mean is, they actively reject God to His very Face. They are exemplified in the Sanhedrin gang that also actively rejected Him to His very Face. Though, personally, I believe that when Jesus was walking the earth, they knew that Jesus was the "Son of God" and "The Messiah", yet I don't believe that they could comprehend that God was "Mortal in the sense of SARX". They are all following the King of Pride, that rebel. Pride cannot comprehend the very Humility of God. Even though they indeed knew He was the Son of God, I don't believe that they realized that He was the very Presence of the Godhead Bodily.

All this to say, the "Redemptive Onus" is on them, not God. They clearly "Believe God Exists", but they don't "Believe that God is Trustworthy, Good and Loving". They don't KNOW God, though they have Seen God.
