Does anyone, like myself have sympathy for not only the people that fall to hell, but also the fallen angels who fell so many centuries ago, like Lucifer?

I know Lucifer, now Satan is the adversary. We can't forget that he, like the rest of his demonic cohorts are as doomed as the people who fall down to hell. According to the Bible, Satan isn't suffering like the people who fall right now, but in revelations it's revealed that he will eventually be cast down in the bottom of the fiery pit. And he must know there's nothing he can do to stop that from happening. All he can do is enjoy doing evil, by tempting and influencing the human beings on earth to give in their evil sin nature.

I'd seen some shows where people had gone to hell, came back to tell horrific stories of their ordeals. Then again, they may be false or just delusional. Oh, I believe hell exists, just not full sure if it's all fire, burning bodies and the like.

Does anyone have sympathy for all those who are in hell? I'm sure most of us have relatives who have likely fallen. Either way, how terrible!

No I don't, but nor to I enjoy the fact they are in Hell or going to Hell. The bibles says God does not take pleasure in such things so nether should we. But also we should not have sympathy. I believe indifference is best.

God is just, we are to Love God more than anything or any one. So these people who went against God should be dead to us.

The satans that deceived our great, great,..., great grandfather and mother knew exactly what they were doing. Even if they did not know the full extent, they knew. They were perfect stewards of God; all they had to do was watch Reality TV (Watchers of Earth.) They chose as perfect creatures to rebel.

Blessed for us, we come "from the bottom, trying to me Perfection." So, hopefully we won't make the same folly of gaining perfection, and giving it up for a quick fix or novelty. In that sense (their deception created a fall of man,) I want nothing but God's judgment.

Even thinking about it, you have to wonder what kind of entity and circumstances would enable an angle that it could even get away with what they did, or did they just do what they want (knowing something we do/don't know/too ignorant to realize.) I don't sympathize, but I empathize, as a fallen creature.

Yea, that isn't important. They could be testimonies or deceivers. If they are alive, they never died. "It is appointed to man to die, then the JUDGMENT."

I don't have sympathy, as I cannot feel the same things those entities felt when they tried to destroy our entire history and inheritence. It is terrible, but if you were in God's presence for a billion years, and you decide to defy Him and Universal Law, what do you expect? The angels are angels; though we may be royalty, they are held to a higher esteem. In Enoch, God wasn't mad that people learned "technology" like makeup and swords/shields - he was angry because it was forced by the fallen. Our ancestors were not given the 10,000s of years to discover this naturally. So, with accelerated growth comes corruption. CANCER.

We are not speaking of just simple sins of the flesh when speaking of Satan. Satan is the root of evil.

Would you have sympathy for someone who murdered your family?

I know Satan is the adversary. He is against us, and wants us to fall and burn and be tormented in hell with him and his other demons ( fallen angels). I hate what he and the other fallen ones do.

Remember, he, his other fallen cohorts and humans underneath them are trapped there for eternity. I'm not sure if the devil is cocky enough to believe he can win the fight at the end, in Revelations. My guess is he knows the huge mistake he made way back when, and knows he can do nothing to change it.

If you look at it, him and his other fallen ones are doomed. They must know they are. So, in a way they must feel they have nothing to lose. Some may feel they would love for a chance to get back into Heaven, but as seen in the Bible , we know that's not going to happen.

Indifference is the way I think we should feel. And for the most part, that is the way I feel.

I don't take any pleasure in knowing anyone would fall to hell. I used to think it was only the worst people like people who commit heinous crimes that went to hell. Now I know that isn't correct. We are saved by faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ, and by grace. It actually saddens me that a lot of people are not going to be able to take satan's blinders off before they pass on.

Oh I believe 100% that God is just and of love at the same time. The people, unlike the angels that fell, some really don't seem to get Christianity and follow their own paths. These people are going to fall, sadly. And like the fallen angels, they are stuck there for eternity. The very bleakest situation anything could be in, and to me, sad.

Oh yes, Satan and the rest of his fallen ones have deceived people since the beginning of humanity, and still continue to make us sin! We know they have no power against God or Lord Jesus. Against mortal men and women though, they still yield quite a bit of power over us. No one is without sin.

Satan and the other angels that rebelled and tried to overthrow God made a huge monumental mistake. What were they thinking? They actually knew what would happen to them if they did sin, but did it anyway. Like you said, they were made perfect creatures, but somehow evil was found in them, and they fell because of it. We were made in God's image, but because of Adam and Eve were are not by any means, perfect creatures. Even the ones who try to be the holiest will give into sin.

As far as I know it's unbelief that sends people to hell, not sin. Repentance is important, and is easier for a person to do (still not easy!)if they are indwelled with the Holy Spirit than those who are spiritually dead.

The fallen angels like Satan (formerly Lucifer) had advantages and a lot more knowledge than even the most intelligent man or woman has today.
We see now, more than ever, kids growing up without religion. I knew very little about religion, and nothing about salvation up until about three years ago. I could have died then and gone straight to hell, and I know it! Some don't have that luxury. Almighty Father God and Lord Jesus Christ saved me. For several others who hadn't been saved, and grew up without religious knowledge, can fall even at a young age.
