    Don't really know. But you're still in hell regardless. :)

    Rev 20:12 "and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds".

    Rev 20:13 "they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds"

    If you're judged according to your deeds do your deeds matter?

    Revelation 20:11-15

    11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

    Seems to be singular in their final condemnation....Once they are there they are under Satan's total dominion, I would think.

    So I conclude that there are degrees of consequences which also would be degrees consequences IN THIS LIFE but in eternity and Fuego stated...Hell is Hell..It's possible that God removes His hand of protection from some...this is what Jesus did voluntarily; He yielded Himself to the wrath of Satan for a season..

    There are conditions we call insanity that are, I believe, levels of this kind of surrender. I read an article yesterday of a man on death row in Texas...he had picked up a male prostitute and strangled him to death during sex..he stole his car and went to Florida and one week later did the same thing only this time the second person survived the strangling..this is sin that has progressed to a far deeper level of darkness than the person who lied to their boss about being sick..based on what I read this person is tormented and desperately needs deliverance..so SHOULD he have the gospel presented and repent and be delivered while he may still be executed he would not go to Hell..

    My point is in this life there are degrees of suffering for sin sake...and the greater the sin we know the greater the suffering Satanic forces inflict..

    One other aspect..flip side of the coin......Jesus said that the person who is forgiven more will love more..

    Satan isn't the lord of the lake of fire.

    No, he is not. He is cast into the lake of fire by God's angels and thereby judged himself. Satan had the keys to death and Hades which were then taken from him, he has never had any power over the lake of fire.

    The Bible says that the lake of fire was prepared for the devil and his angels.
