"Rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy". Interesting....
In Jesus' parable of Lazarus and the rich man with no name, He seems to be describing a real enough place.

In Jesus' parable, the place described is Hades, not hell. Hell is real enough, but does it have to be a "place" when at the end of time, the world we know will have passed away?

Yes, hell was a very real place, according to Jesus.
He should know.

In Jesus' parable of Lazarus and the rich man with no name, He seems to be describing a real enough place.If your interpretation is correct, why can Lazarus, Abraham and the Rich Man see each other and speak with each other? Are they all in the place of hell together?
