Heaven and Hell are both states of mind.
Why do I say this?
Jesus said that he holds the keys to Hades.
Now they're not physical keys, the people then needed physical examples to understand good and evil.
When we die, we will not be in our physical bodies, so this hell of fire does not exist, the hell of fire is akin to a man or woman who is addicted to drugs, who cannot live without a material object. That is hell, imagine telling a person who is cold chicken that there are no more drugs left to sustain their body and mind, imagine the expression on their face, they'd be lost, unable to live happily, it would be a shock to their system, a personal hell, that is the hell of the soul, not trusting in God, not wanting to follow God, it is a fall from grace by the free will of the man or woman in question, with grace we will suffer but we grace we shall recover and so shall Lucifer.
