Taken From: The Vision Of The Spiritual World by Sadhu Sundar Singh

THE SOUL OF A ROBBER
A robber died and entered the world of spirits. At first he took no interest in his state, or in the spirits about him, but, as his habit was, he at once set about helping himself to the valuables of the place. But he was amazed that in the spirit world the very things seemed to be speaking and accusing him of his unworthy action. His nature was so perverted that he neither knew the true use of these things nor was he fit to use them rightly. In the World, his passions had been so unbridled, that, for the most trifling cause, he, in his anger, had killed or wounded any who had offended him. Now in the world of spirits, he began to act in the same way. He turned on the spirits, who came to instruct him, as if he would have torn them to pieces, like a savage dog will do even in the presence of its master. On this one of the angels said, "If spirits of this kind were not kept down in the darkness or the bottomless pit, then they would cause immense harm wherever they might go. This man's conscience is so dead, that even after he has reached the world of spirits, he fails to recognize that, by murdering and robbing in the world, he has wasted his own spiritual discernment and life. He killed and destroyed others, but in reality, he has destroyed himself. God alone knows if this man, and those who are like him, will remain in torment for ages or forever."
After this, the angels appointed to the duty took him, and shut him down in the darkness from which he is not permitted to come out. The state of evildoers in that place is so terrible, and so inexpressibly fierce is this torment, that those who see them tremble at the sight. Because of the limitations of our worldly speech, we can only say this, that wherever the soul of a sinner is, always and in every way, there is nothing but pain that ceases not for a moment. A kind of lightless fire burns forever and torments these souls, but neither are they altogether consumed, nor does the fire die out. A spirit who was watching what had just happened said, "Who knows but that in the end this may not be a cleansing flame?" In the dark part of the world of spirits, which is called Hell, there are many grades and planes, and the particular one in which any spirit lives in suffering is dependent on the quantity and character of his sins. In fact God made them all in His own image (Gen. 1:26, 27; Col. 1:15), yet by their connection with sin they have disfigured this image, and have made it unbeautiful and evil. They have, indeed, a kind of spiritual body, but it is exceedingly loathsome and frightful, and if they are not restored by true repentance, and the grace of God, (while on earth), then in this fearful form they must remain in torment forever.

Stories such as these are meant to deceive an enslave the minds of men, not free them. Such stories are not based on the Truth of God(Even Jesus Christ) and certainly only spore those overcome with fear, to opening themselves up to further manipulation by these story tellers who are thieves that come to steal, kill and destroy their victims as Jesus Christ forewarned.

This doesn't happen at all

Nice fantasy writing but yet you are close

Points for efforts

Here re corrections

Upon leaving the body the thief or rather one so addicted to stealing goes to the land of despair which due the fact this is how they made others feel

Thief is first confused as to the darkness and loathsomeness around them wondering if this is the hell he heard So much about but no it is not.
Then fear wondering how he scorned churches then panic and fear sets in wondering so these churches where right then he is over whelmed with regret

Then he wonders about his body which he sees before him he sees has decayed beyond recognition. He wonders where are the flames or bottomless lakes of fire heard about. He wonders or is this purgatory?

Again he is conscious of the earthly surroundings but knows this is not earth he sees his decaying body and is still attached to it and wants to get away from the rotten decaying thing but no matter how he tries he is pulled back and he is panicking and terrified

Then a voice says to him , your loved that body more than your spirit. You stole and plundered all to serve that body now you must be bound to and see the decay to nothingness of that which you worshipped, and ministered and clung to. Know how perishable it was, how vile it has become, and look upon your spirit body and see how you have starved and cramped and neglected it for the sake of the enjoyments of the earthly body. Behold how poor and repulsive and deformed your earthly life has made your spirit.
