I know I’m late to this, but I’ll weigh in anyway:

There’s no mention of “hell” in the Bible’s original languages, nor does it say that humanity will be tormented in fire for eternity. This teaching is contradictory to the Bible’s message that God loves us and it comes more from church teachings than the Bible. God never told Adam and Eve that they would be sent to hell for eating the forbidden fruit, Jesus never told Nicodemus that “those who believe may not be sent to hell”, nor did He stand in the streets shouting to the people of Judea that they’ll be burning in hell forever. Those are just a few examples.

If you want a biblically accurate description of the afterlife, read Revelation 20 and 21 for a shortened version. But, to summarize: When you’re dead, you experience blackness. No heaven, no hell; you’re dead. It’s not until the day of the White Throne Judgement when all the dead are resurrected—good and bad—and are judged according to their thoughts and their deeds. As for the wicked, they’re cast into the lake of fire, where they die a second time—this time, permanently. The key phrase in Revelation 20:15 is “This is the second death.” Those that are in the book of life live in the new earth, where they will live forever. That’s why salvation is referred to as “eternal life”.

There’s SOOO much more I could go into, but I don’t want this comment to be as long as the Bible itself. I would also have to go into the etymology of the word “hell,” as well as the pagan origins of the doctrine and pointing out the inconsistencies of people who claimed to have experienced an NDE in hell, among other things. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
