I was always perplexed on God's choice of putting Paul over all his faithful disciples, after all he was hunting and killing them. Why do you think He would do such a strange thing? Could there be a reason?
Would Jesus forgive Satan if he repented?

Widespread thought among average witnesses was that even if Satan repented, he would not be forgiven, because he had began as a perfect spirit creature, so his rebellion was not a "mistake due to imperfection" but a "choice".

It would be so easy for Satan to make God a liar. Just be a little-sweet-devil-kitty.
then all prophecy's would fail, and God was wrong. He would not like anything more then that....I asked an elder why he did not do this. He answer me: he can not do that because he is not made that way. Duh? Guess who "did not made him that way".....

What did Satan ever do wrong, anyhow? I don't remember ever reading the actual story of his downfall in the bible... is it there somewhere?

In the phillips translation it leads the reader to believe that God punished paul by making him the most devout. Kind of like your sentence in hell is to be a pioneer..

Wow....Jesus must have a different take on the word punishment than what I am used to hearing. I never heard Paul complain about the job.
