Bible Question: We know that the Angels were created by God and cannot be forgiven when they sin. Adam and Eve were also created by God-did they ever have a chance to be forgiven for their disobedience in the garden? |
Bible Answer: Good question! The Bible does not say whether Adam and Eve ever repented of their sin. The one sad thing is that both Adam and Eve, when confronted by God after their sin, made excuses for their actions but never told Him they were sorry for disobeying Him. There are other possible references by which one could make the assumption that they did not repent, but it is not stated in so many words. If they did not, then they were not forgiven. As to the angels, it is my understanding that the angels who rebelled against God KNEW exactly WHO they were rebelling against... and for that reason those angels will spend eternity in everlasting fire (Matthew 25:41). I'm reminded of Paul's words in Hebrews 6:4-6. It speaks of "people" but is also pertinent I think, as far as the angels are concerned too. |
