There are some things that can't be explained that doesn't make sense.
Satan's sin was pride, and was not put there by the Father, nor did He command it, for as post said, that would make Him the author of evil. God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. Satan's sin of pride was the same as Adam and Eve's sin, in placing their will above God's.

Yes, it is insane! Below is what the attitude of the people will be after the seals, trumpets and the last of the bowl judgments:

=======================================================================

"Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood (man-made products), which cannot see or hear or walk. Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft."

"Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given power to scorch the people with fire. And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues; yet they did not repent and give Him glory.

"And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness, and men began to gnaw their tongues in anguish and curse the God of heaven for their pains and sores; yet they did not repent of their deeds."

"Then every island fled, and no mountain could be found. And great hailstones weighing almost a hundred pounds each rained down on them from above. And men cursed God for the plague of hail, because it was so horrendous."

========================================================================

Even with God pouring out His wrath upon them, the still will not repent.

Beyond comprehension!! Just amazed at the hate much of mankind has for God......

God really did and command Satan, remember Job, god said to Satan:"I put him in your hands,Just don't kill him."

That was God giving Satan permission to test Job's faith in God, not God commanding Satan to do anything specific, simply limiting what Satan could do to Job, as in, "killing Job is off limits." You have no Biblical grounds for saying God commanded Satan to rebel against Him.

Absolutely none whatsoever.

You are the one saying God is responsible for Satan's rebellion, not me.

God has given the angels, and us, a choice.

That does not make Him responsible for the choices we make.

Ultimately, one question/choice matters above all others...

“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?”

okay thank you everyone for your answers :)
Jesus Christ is the ONLY WAY of salvation, He is the ONLY Savior and He happens to have the keys of Hades.......

Hmmm.....sounds to me like Jesus can lock and UNlock the doors of Hades - ONLY He can.

Judgment isn’t over till the Great White Throne Judgment AFTER the 1,000 year reign of Christ literally on the Earth so....

Even in the depths of Hades/Hell I believe a lost soul can call upon the Name of Jesus Christ and be saved and delivered from Hell but, ONLY by Jesus Christ.

I never said that,lol:sleep:. I knew The difference between command and choice .

I just want let you know when god command Satan that doesn't mean god is evil, cuz Satan is craft.

God command Satan became enemy of us and put us in his hand but don't kill us.

So if you were Satan, how would you listen to this command,and what to do ?

do you think that is easy for Satan?

God command Satan after Eve eaten bad apple.before god didn't command Satan.
so Satan could ask Eve a question.
I don't know who teach you that god giving Satan permission .

You should go back and read genesis.what god said to Satan,It was clearly an order.
command and order.

I don't know if God's command to Adam is a command to Satan.if not,that is why serpent is craft.

cuz Satan knows when god command him that's an order for him.

your reply doesn't make sense, grammar or otherwise.
Some things can't be explained,
Some things are secret and can't be said.
If said it doesn't make sense.
Will lose meaning.

is it possible for them to change their mind and start wanting to be with God ???
Are the damned capable of changing their minds?
Or do they just hate God with ever increasing intensity?

We have reason to believe the latter is true. Even on earth during the final wrath of God a point is reached where
those being punished refuse to repent. They curse God more. Have a look at Rev 16:8-10, the 4th & 5th bowls.
