Can Fallen Angels Be Forgiven?

  The scriptures say that the angels will be judged. Yet it also says the fiery pit is reserved for them..which sounds like it's all predestined and the matter is final. But to be judged seems to imply that some will try to make restitution or change.

  Do you think it's possible for these angels to be redeemed? If they were to show up visibly, would you trust them or think it's another trick?

  If these angels were responsible for WT leadership, as well as establishing all the other religions, and tried to justify why things went awry...how would you feel about that?

  Are the "demons" we have been warned about, actually these wicked angels? Are they still active in our world?

  If Jehovah truly is omnipotent and all powerful (sorry for the tautology) then off course he can choose to forgive fallen angels

  Universalists believe that all angels and people will return to God and his love eventually. I share this belief. It definitely gives God a lot more credit in love and the ability for good to finally overcome evil.

  Corinthians 6 says that "we" (or 'the saints') will judge the angels. It says nothing about god judging them.

  If the saints are to judge the wicked angels, then we humans must be able to see how these beings have contributed to the torment or the good of mankind. We must have something to base a judgement on; something more than a fable.

  This is why I ask: do you think wicked angels are involved in the current affaris of mankind? Do you think demons and wicked angels are the same thing?

  If I were to find myself in God's position, I would forgive any angels that just wanted to experience new things for the first time or that were trying to save mankind from a tyranny. I would never forgive the ones that initiated oppression (and that refers specifically to Jehovah Himself).
