Isn't Satan a fallen angel? So, Satan fell from grace for doing something sinful. We are all sinful.

So, JBK, I'll try again: why aren't you praying for the devil?

I think the only people who will get into heaven are those who prayed for the devil's redemption. It's the ultimate test. Christians want to pray for all the sinners but dance on Satan's grave. Doesn't that seem against the teachings of praying and forgiving and putting it all in god's hands?

What Would Twain Do?

Quote:
But who prays for Satan? Who in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most, our one fellow and brother who most needed a friend yet had not a single one, the one sinner among us all who had the highest and clearest right to every Christian's daily and nightly prayers, for the plain and unassailable reason that his was the first and greatest need, he being among sinners the supremest?
