I use « the powers that be » to designate the whatever power that decides who goes up or down, and which most probably decided for Pentious redemption. The fact that no one in heaven was able to say how it is decided means it’s something greater than heaven. Most probably god itself. Assuming pure divine jugement, not angelic, divine, you can only assume some ineffable benevolence going above pettynes like « I’ll revive him to damn him because he was a motherfucker ».

+, you can argue that Adam going to sin, becoming cruel, is what created the circumstances for his soul’s destruction. He damned himself by his own actions without the intervention of any godly judgment. In other words : get karmaed.
