So if I steal $50 or $500,000, the prison sentence is the same?

James2:8-11 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

In a word, yes. Stealing is stealing and anyone who has such little integrity that he will steal $50 will steal $500,000 if given the opportunity.

If you disobey God and break a commandment, you have sinned against God and God said that the soul that sins, dies.

It's we humans who have made distinctions of sin.

“If you disobey God and break a commandment, you have sinned against God and God said that the soul that sins, dies.”

So the discussion here is the existence of the eternal fires of hell and eternal burning in them by sinners. Now if the soul that sins dies, how can he have his eternal pain in hell?
