Omniprescence and omnipotence reduces your excuse to shambles....
Unless you believe your "god" is the same as a pregnant woman...hence incapable of changing any situation... undecided
I wasn't talking to you or making excuses.

Can you give a reason why you think he was forgiven?

One reason why satan may not be forgiven is because he inspired pharasees to say that Jesus performed miracles by the power of satan.
Saying that, is the unforgivable sin and satan is just as guilty as the pharasees for having inspired them to say it.

All the miracles Jesus performed were good, and good people would know that the Holy Spirit is the power behind them.
The pharasees calling Jesus's good miracles being from satan is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, the sin never to be forgiven.

Mat 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

satan can inspire us to sin:
Act 5:3 .....why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost.....

Rotten theology @d least.

Yahweh inspired those that wrote the bible, in other words, he's the Author of the bible.

Like I said, nothing stops satan in writing his own account of the events. We don't care if he writes it all by himself or inspires someone to write it, we will read it and still draw our own conclusions.

We mean, why wasn’t he forgiven when he rebelled and subsequently cast down?

I suppose satan was not forgiven because he wanted to be above God, his creator, and never changed in his attitude.
We do know according to Revelation that he will never be forgiven.

Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Did Satan write any book to say his own side of story?

Even in Yahweh's own book-the Bible, Yahweh killed more people than Satan, Yahweh made more mistakes than Satan, so how are u so sure that Yahweh is not the bad guy who chased Satan away from his kingdom?

how many people did satan bless?

(1) Because God so loved man.

(2) When Adam sinned, God did not immediately put Adam to death, as his sin deserved. Instead, God sought Adam out, and exposed his sin (Genesis 3:8-13). God also indicated the consequences Adam and his wife would experience because of their sin (Genesis 3:8-19).(

(3) God promised to provide a cure for sin and death (Genesis 3:15). He also provided Adam and Eve with coverings (3:21).

(4) God graciously removed Adam and Eve from the garden, and prevented them from returning to it. He kept them from eating of the tree of life, lest they live forever in their sin (3:22-24).

(5) God was gracious to turn the curse into the cure. Death kept Adam and Eve from living forever as condemned sinners. It was death (the death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary) that ultimately and permanently defeated Satan, sin, and death -- because our Lord died in the sinner's place, and then rose from the dead. Even the woman's pain in childbearing was gracious, because it was through this painful process that the Messiah would someday come into the world to save sinners.

(6) God graciously gave Adam and Eve another son -- Seth -- after Cain killed Abel (4:25-26). It was after the birth of Seth that people began to worship the Lord (4:26). Did this include Adam? I am inclined to think so. Why would he teach his son about fellowship with God he enjoyed, knowing he is/was not forgiven?

Simply put, they sinned against the holy spirit. All sins r forgive-able except the sin against holy spirit
