Why does God forgive people only now, while we are alive, if we
believe in him? Why don't he forgive people who are in hell? What
if someone used to mock God but repents of his sins when he went to
hell, will God forgive that person? If not, why?
Also, if Satan and 1/3 of the angels who rebeled had repented
after they were chased out of the garden of Eden, will God have
forgiven them?
simple..because there is no hell..because there is no such thing
as torment in eternity..because it is explicitly written in the
bible when a person dies, s/he is conscious of nothing at all..akin
to sleeping..so how can anyone be repentent when dead??it has to be
when they are still alive..only when one is alive does s/he have
the ability to think and act..when judgement comes..billions will
be called up from their sleep so they may make their choice..for or
against God..for God then live on and help out..against God then go
back sleep..
satan and friends wasnt chased out of eden..everyone was..but
satan and friends had access to the heavens for a long time..satan
often appeared in the heavely court to mock God and challenge
God..until in the book of revelations where satan the original
serpent, the dragon was hurled down to earth with his friends..
based on your questions..if they realized their folly after adam
and eve and truly repent..God will forgive them..however, they do
not repent and got worse..soon angels started having sex with
humans to birth nephilims..things got so bad that the flood has to
come..and God knows that satan and friends will never ever
repent..its now just a matter of how many humans or angels will
join them in doom..
