Only in the sense of his part in "causing" in "tempting" to get them committed.
Every case was decided, every jewel numbered. Jesus tarried a moment in the outer apartment of the heavenly Sanctuary, and the sins which had been confessed while he was in the Most Holy place,
he placed back upon
the originator of sin, the Devil.
He must suffer the punishment of these sins. {1SG 198.1}
In like manner, when the work of atonement in the heavenly sanctuary has been completed, then in the presence of God and heavenly angels and the hosts of the redeemed the sins of God’s people will be placed upon Satan; he will be declared
guilty of all the evil which he has caused them to commit. And as the scapegoat was sent away into a land not inhabited, so Satan will be banished to the desolate earth, an uninhabited and dreary wilderness. {GC 658.1}
"so Satan,
bearing the guilt of all the sins which he has caused God’s people to commit, will be for a thousand years confined to the earth, which will then be desolate, without inhabitant, and he will at last suffer the full penalty of sin, in the fires that shall destroy all the wicked. Thus the great plan of redemption will reach its accomplishment in the final eradication of sin, and the deliverance of all who have been willing to renounce evil." {GC 485.3}
As the sin offering - atoning and substitutionary:
- Christ having paid the debt of all sin for all humans that have ever lived..
NOT as a sin offering -
NOT atoning or substitutionary
- all the wicked - each paying for their own debt of sin.
- Satan also paying his full debt for sins he causes including the added debt of the sin he instigates among the saints.
But he is then to be deprived of his power and left to reflect upon the part which he has acted since his fall, and to look forward with trembling and terror to the dreadful future, when
he must suffer for all the evil that he has done and be punished for all the sins that he has caused to be committed. {SR 416.1}
Agreed and when you consider that even Tall73 agrees with me that Adventists teach (And that includes Ellen White) that Christ paid the debt of sin for all sins that all humans in all of time have ever committed -- AND that Adventists do not teach that the scapegoat is a sin offering at all - there is no other option left other than satan paying for his guilt in tempting others where there is added guilt, added debt owed, in tempting the saints who are not of satan's kingdom.
Now let's suppose for a second that we give Tall73 the benefit of the doubt and agree that all Adventist agree to believe whatever Tall73 says about that added debt being the full debt owed for the sins of the saints.
That would mean that by even Tall73's confession - he admits we teach that
1. all sin for all humans: paid by Christ, though the wicked do not benefit from that
2. the wicked pay for their own sin,though it was already paid for by Christ
3. Satan pays the debt of all his own sin...which of course was not for paid by Christ
4. and then to Satan is added the full debt of sin already paid by Christ for the saints. Yet Satan's suffering is not as a "sin offering" not to 'benefit others' but rather "just more debt piled on Satan" even though Christ already fully paid it in atoning substitutionary form freeing the saints from it.
At BEST I don't see how Tall73 gets more mileage than that out of his idea.
At BEST he could complain that this is "unfair" to Satan.
