[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I self identify as  Muslim and i was taught that hell is like  a "hospital" its a place where people with a "sick" soul would go to recuperate and that with time everyone in hell, even Satan will enter into paradise after learning to submit to the will of God and being grateful to Him.  I think the the hadith that even satan will enter Paradise is a fairly common one but I also know that since my family moved to the USA in the sixties, the extremist Saudi Salafi tradition has taken hold and most muslims believe in what i think is a "christian" hell- eternal hellfire.  I was taught that we dont believe that by our teachers in teh eighties but times are different now, none of my parents friends wore hijabs or shorts, just regular modest clothes  and some even drank so we are not particularly inclined to believe in eternal hell, but i dont really know what modern day Wahabi types believe.

Even in Catholicism, it is taught that the devil could repent and be forgiven.

It’s my understanding that Satan prefers to rule in hell rather than serve in heaven. Which is why pride is such a dangerous sin.[/quote]

My religion teaches that the fallen angel Lucifer was continually in God’s presence and had knowledge of the glory of God. Therefore, he had no excuse for rebelling against God and turning away from Him. Lucifer rebelling against God despite what he knew was the utmost evil.

The Bible gives us no reason to believe that Lucifer would repent even if God gave him the chance (1 Peter 5:8). Lucifer seems completely devoted to opposing God and attacking God’s people. The Bible says that the severity of God’s judgment varies according to how much knowledge a person possesses (Luke 12:48). Lucifer, with the great knowledge of God, is greatly deserving of God’s wrath.
