Hell is a place of darkness. Jude 13 speaks of “the blackness of darkness” to which false teachers will be confined forever. God is light (1 John 1:5) and the Father of lights (Jas. 1:17). Hell is described as darkness because it is the place farthest removed from God.

The parable of the rich man was just that- a parable- There are certain things about the parable that show that- Hell will be a place where people can not talk- they also will not be civil and be full of hatred- their hatred on earth will be magnified in hell- the rich man obviously wasn’t full of rage and hatred- The bible also talks about the Dead knowing nothing- (those lost souls won’t know what is going on on earth)- Jesus used many parables- ones where trees talk- or have wisdom etc- the parables are meant simply to teach life lessons ie: don’t store up treasures for yourself on earth- they are useless in the afterlife- etc-
I agree with an earlier post that Jesus was referring to an actual person named Lazarus and the Rich Man who was in Sheol and worried about his family.
Our salvation and specifically my salvation does not stand or fall according to the veracity of this video on Hell.
And thank you for calling to mind that Jude 13 is concerned with false teachers and false teachers who are abominations in God’s economy.
“Clouds without rain, stains on your love feasts”...
False teaching comes straight from Hell.
