If so is heaven hotter then hell?

Hot air is less dense than cold air, so all things being equal, it will tend to rise.
All things are generally not equal, though. There is plenty of stuff between heaven and hell that could maintain the temperature difference.
Deep space has a temp of about 3K (equilibrium with cosmic microwave background), so heaven could be quite cold unless god installed a good heater.
Meanwhile, temperatures in the earth's core are hot enough to liquify rock, so Satan will have to have a great AC system just to make hell habitable at all.

Heat doesn't rise PER SE. However, heated fluids are lighter than heavier fluids and thus rise due to the buoyancy. Regarding heaven and hell, since these are metaphysical locations, and not subject to the laws of Physics, your analogy doesn't apply. Even if your observation was correct, with all that heat available, they could build air conditioning units to keep their inhabitants happy and send the reject heat back to whence it came.

I don't think this question should be in Physics. To answer your question though, as a Christian Heaven is a perfect celestial body. It will have streets paved with gold and things we can't even think of, no I don't think its hotter than Hell because it defys the laws of science. To find out more maybe you should read the Bible or go to Church meanwhile I'll be praying for you.

No. Heat radiates out in all directions. However, hot air will rise. As the heated air rises it cools and therefore at some point the heated air will be the same temp as the surrounding air, and the "heated air" will stop rising.

About heat rising, there are necessary two conditions:
1.) presence of gravitational field
2.) liquid or gas medium
Heaven cannot be affected by risen heat from hell, because those conditions are not satisfied.

haha heat does rise, but it depends on how much heat you have for it to reach the heavens.

Not necessarily; at 40,000 ft it's 40 below.
