That didn't work out. Why would his letter to the Romans be any more reliable?

We're told that the soul goes to heaven, ...Yes. We're told that the soul goes to heaven, the possibility of sin is necessary for free will and the soul is the seat of free will. So there will be the possibility of sin in heaven. Revelation says a third of the stars will fall to earth. Since this is absurd, it's interpreted to mean that a third of the angels will be cast out. If angels can't last but about 6000 years, what chance does a human stand of lasting an eternity? <br /><br />There's no reason to think that hell will be a uniform temperature. Since we're all going to spend eternity in hell, it would be best to get there early. The first one has the best chance to find the coolest spot whilevthe last soul kicked out of heaven gets stuck in the hottest spot in hell for eternity. <br /><br />The slightest increase in temperature would make an infinitely greater punishment when multiplied through eternity. <br /><br />So it would be a bad personal choice to get sent to heaven only to futilely try to stay there which will make hell that much worse for you.
