Your punishment should be greater because the offense is greater.

Well, to a human mind, yes, it should. But see also post 836....I think the New Testament does say that any sin, if unforgiven, is enough to condemn one to Hell.

I definitely agree that some sins are more destructive than others.

You keep missing the point that there are differing degrees of punishment in hell based on the severity of the sins while in the body.

Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Revelation 22:12
"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

There will be differing degrees of punishment based on what one has done while in the body. Did you think that everyone in hell would have the same punishment?

Do you think a Perfectly Just God will punish a decent Buddhist the same as Adolf Hitler?
