I either saw it in a movie or read it some place......for I do not recall. I just want to know if some of the teachings out there concerning religion/a particuliar faith(s) teach that there are "different levels of hell"...

in Islam there are 7 levels of Hell and 7 levels of Heaven - each dependant on the severity of your sin or good deeds

Some faith do teach that. But although it does not specifically say so, the Bible does seem to indicate that there might be different levels of punishment in Hell. See Revelation 20:11-15

The degree of punishment will be commensurate with one's sin against the light which one has received.
One good passage that indicated degrees of punishment is Luke 12:47-48: "That servant who know his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be BEATEN WITH MANY BLOWS. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be BEATEN WITH FEW BLOWS. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked". Other verses on this issue include MAT 10:15; 16:27; Rev. 20:12,13; 22:12.
Jesus affirmed that the wicked "will go away to ETERNAL punishment, but the righteous to ETERNAL life" (Mat 25:460

Is it true that certain faiths teach that there are different 'levels' of hell?
Yes- and different levels of Heaven too.

You should read Dante's Inferno sometime, it talks about all sorts of levels or lower rings of Hell and different levels or higher rings of heaven - a pretty interesting read.

Hades and Sheol mean the grave. Gahenna is a junkyard symbolizing the lake of fire, this fire descends from heaven on judgement day. Dead people don't go anywhere, they have to resurrect first. Hell means you cease existing.

Yes, certain ""Faiths" do teach that. Why, I guess it is a fanciful type of mine-control. If you teach "Sin", then you have to have a punishment for it. Whatever...

The BIBLE teaches THAT!
WORKS, both Good and Evil are JUDGED by Christ at His Great White Throne Judgment!
Can you Imagine a Holy Just GOD,= = Giving you the Same Judgment = = AS ADOLPH HITLER, = -or- = SADAM HUSSEIN!
Thanks, RR

telling a white lie or gossiping is not equivalent with murdering someone...and your conscience confirms this!!!!
