Hades or the Greek underworld is spoken about in four senses in Scripture. 1) Abraham’s Bosom, also known as Paradise or the abode of OT believers after the first death prior to the Resurrection. Separated from the Torments by a great gulf fixed.

2) The Torments, or the place or abode of all unbelievers after the first death prior to the Great White Throne Judgment.

3) Tartarus, or a prison for some fallen angels.

4) The Abyss, location of criminal fallen angels, from which some will be released at the middle of the Great Tribulation.

Sorry, but everyone of the above are merely the opinions of man. You do not find what you said in the Bible.

Interesting that you think Abraham’s Bosom is just and opinion of man, or that a grat gulf fixed is just an opinion of man, or that the Abyss is just an opinion of man, or that the place where some fallen angels are kept chained are just an opinion of man.

It might help to search Scripture and make a list of all the verses in which the underworld are referenced and take notes as to the occupants and distinctions from other portions thereof, by which even the soulish man is able to learn about their existence. Or simply refuse to accept what God provides and their location might become a bit more intuitive of those men who choose not to form an “opinion”.
