The hell isn't even a biblic term. It probably originated from the Greeks, with their 'hades'. The Catholic church used that to scare people.
It's also based on the illustration of Lazarus and the rich man, the 1st one in heaven, the other one in hell.

The bible teaches that when you die, you're dead. You're nowhere, you don't exist. Until you are ressurected to live on paradise on earth.

Some people are given a life in heaven, they will rule the earth together with Jesus.
But the're no hell where people burn for eternity. How could a loving God do that???
