Bible Question (short): Can Angels repent? |
Question (full): I've been researching Angels recently when something occurred to me. God created Angels and gave them free will, as evidenced by 'sinning Angels' (fallen Angels, the war on Heaven). God created man and gave him free will, as evidenced by....well everyday of our lives. What I'm wondering is did God give us a privilege in repenting that Angels do not have? A full third (Revelation 12:4) of the Angels joined in Satan's rebellion and were cast down. I find it hard to believe that not one of them were sorry for their actions. Can Angels repent and be forgiven? It seems sad to me to be given free will with no chance for redemption from ones mistakes. |
