Well what we have to be careful of is the difference between great works of literature and the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Hell is divided into 9 circles ( i believe it was 9, its been over a year since i read it - and i just remember the main points, Judas, Brutus, and "the wondering Jew" where the 3 in the deepest pit of hell where Satan was frozen? Not sure about the "wondering jew". Another misconception is Milton's Paradise Lost, it gets mixed so freely with the Bible, esp Genesis and Revs, that sometimes ppl get confused.

In a way if Heaven was divided much the way Hell was in the Inferno, do you think it would make ppl work harder as Christians? Not to be taken literal but . . . Instead of just getting an RV to live out of, if you are a really good person you get a mansion in Heaven. Like I said that is not to be taken literal, just trying to see if there is a general conscious...that if we were promised more for better behavior, would we work even harder to get into Heaven.
