Well yes I do. Like if you murder someone you'll obviously have to suffer a bigger punishment than if you stole from a store.

I believe there are different levels of the spirit world. Heaven being the ultimate place where one exists with God. Hell (aka Gehenna) being the lowest where one doesn't feel the love of God or any love for that matter.
No, I don't believe it's strictly fire. Gehenna (aka Hell) is actually the burning trash pits outside of the Jewish towns. It was a horrible place of stench and filth. Some years ago several archaeologists uncovered the main Gehenna for Jerusalem and for other towns.
So between these extremes, I believe there exist levels where our spirits are place in accordance to how we lived in our physical life.
You know, what you sow is what you reap.
Cheers.

Yes, I believe so. Just like the rewards will be many for those who did not need proof and believed, had FAITH, in Jesus. Your works may contribute to rewards or punishments. One thing that is certain though, salvation is only through the grace and Mercy God gives to us, not by our works or own deeds. The rewards will also be different for those in tribulation period also.

In heaven there will be no punishment for those who have chosen the truth, there will be greater rewards for those who faithfully served the Lord and lived accordingly.
Hell will just consist of continuous torture and agony mostly does to the knowledge that you have been separated from God's love forever.

You live in the here and now...Heaven and Hell are metaphores for the risks and rewards inherent in daily living. Yes there are differing levels of risk and reward in the HERE AND NOW...not some ultimate judgment that'll send you elsewhere. You live in the HERE AND NOW and you don't see this? PEACE!

no, no is worse or better than Hitler, no one is worse or better than mother Theresa. Mass murdering is just as bad as stealing candy from a baby, all sin is sin in the eyes of God, and he hates it all the same, thank God for forgivness. But god probably does reward higher than some others. Yes,I hope im rewarded higher than a hypocrite, but hopefully thats not my pridful flesh talking.

Though these are only perceptions for us in this real world, you see these things called Hell and Heaven simply do not exist once we all leave this World. So dude, enjoy what is there to enjoy and suffer what is there to suffer and live every moment as though its your last; then you will find Heaven in this World. It is we who make this beautiful Hell and Heaven thru our actions, deeds and thoughts.

NOPE!
NOT AT ALL!
Our ""FEELings"" do not matter.
HELL IS HELL, HEAVEN IS HEAVEN.
Extra rewards in Heaven are the Crowns we get, but only to put at HIS feet.

I do, because I know some good people are not in the same category as Mother Teresa. There are also some people that are not as bad as Hitler.

Yes, in Heaven anyway....I don't know about hell. I have only read about it being in Heaven.
