You’re quoting Paul, not Jesus.

Here is what you said: I have never read nor found in the Bible (NIV, KJV for example) that there are different "levels" of Heaven, nor many "mansions."

Then I pointed out that the Bible says, in one of the two version you mentioned:

"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows."
--2 Corinthians 12:2 (New International Version)

And then you say: You’re quoting Paul, not Jesus.

You're shifting the terms of the argument when your deficiency is pointed out.

Back again to your original objection regarding "mansions," here is what Jesus says in the KJV:

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
--John 14:2


Will you now say, "You're quoting John allegedly quoting Jesus, not Jesus"?

OK so discount everything in the Bible that was not spoken personally by Jesus.
