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.

Mine doesn’t either- like i said in previous posts- My experience shook me for a long time, but it shouldn’t have really, because things about it were unbiblical- and likely due just to high fever and lack of oxygen/blood in brain-
We’re going to have to disagree however on the parable-
I have several reasons why I believe it was a parable using common jewish folklore (The pharisees believed in a ‘hold over’ location before both eternal damnation and eternal life in heaven- Jesus used this common folklore to teach the pharisees) to illustrate a point- I also believe that souls in hell are purely evil and would not be concerned about loved ones back on earth- Hell is a total lack of God- a total lack of the restrainer- this means man in hell is no longer bound by the restrainer, and the soul will become devoid of restraining force- There will be no more universal moral code in hell- as God and His influence will not be present there-
also people in hell can not have conversations with those in heaven-
also “in death there is no remembrance” (Psalm 6:5)- Yet in this parable, there is remembrance?
There are several other reasons i think it’s just a parable- not literal
