The Bible makes it clear that no amount of works can satisfy God, and that he requires belief in him.
So does a man who many would say lived a moral life, helped others, and donated his life savings, but wasn't a believer in Jesus be burning in hell just as badly as Hitler would?
John calls hell - the "lake of fire" in Rev 20. It burns with fire and brimstone according to Rev 14 and it comes down out of heaven from God according to Rev 20.
Luke 12 says that punishment is proportional to what a person knows and does.
Rev 20 says they are judged "According to their deeds" written in the books of heaven.
I have heard some argue that hell is experienced differently depending on the sins committed. I am looking for evidence of that claim.
Some burn longer than others - so then some suffer more than others.
Luke 12:
45 But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, 46 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for
him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint
him his portion with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare
himself or do according to his will, shall be
beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes
, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
instead of "infinite for all"
In society people are punished in different severities depending on the crime,
Indeed - justice rather than unjust punishment.
==========================
Lucifer -- who then became Satan of course - was the "covering Cherub" in heaven - perfect when he was created until he sinned.
He will suffer more than they all since he has more guilt to his name.
‘Thus says the Lord God:
“You
were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone
was your covering:
The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was
prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “You
were the
anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You
were perfect in your ways from the
day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
16 “By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore
I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And
I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.
18 “You defiled your sanctuaries
By the multitude of your iniquities,
By the iniquity of your trading;
Therefore
I brought fire from your midst;
It devoured you,
And
I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.
19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;
You have become a horror,
And shall be no more forever.” ’ ”
