No one will be anyone held to account for anything. God only cares about whether or not someone is saved.

Not being saved is completely binary. You are either saved and enter into heaven, or you are not saved, and burn in hell for eternity. Scripturally it takes but one single sin, of any type, to condemn one to hell if they do not repent.

Not according to Matthew 12:36-37

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

If you are condemned to hell for eternity, you go to hell for eternity.

It doesn't matter what you did, or what you said. Hell is eternal.

Do show me the scripture where-in one man in hell, for eternity, can take comfort that some other guy who was worse than him is in hell for eternity and a day.

There are no degrees of hell. Eternal torment, is eternal torment. Period. Thus there is no sin that will result in a longer sentence in hell.

Youre right about hell and eternity but you will be judged according to your deeds, that’s non negotiable. The Bible also appears to indicate a different type of severity, say for example those who hear the gospel in this life and reject it will have a harder time in hell.

Matthew 23:14 “”How terrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You devour widows’ houses and say long prayers to cover it up. Therefore, you will receive greater condemnation!

Luke 10:14-15 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.

James 3:1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more severely than others.

Revelation 20:12-15 I saw the dead, both important and unimportant people, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened, including the Book of Life. The dead were judged on the basis of what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead. Death and hell gave up their dead. People were judged based on what they had done. Death and hell were thrown into the fiery lake. (The fiery lake is the second death.) Those whose names were not found in the Book of Life were thrown into the fiery lake.
