Is hell real because Dan McClellan is teaching that it isn't?
Sorry for the repost, had to remove the link.
Basically Dan McClellan is gospel these days for a lot of Christians yet he does not believe the Bible is inspired or that hell is real.

I just want to see where people sit on this in today's climate as Dan is extremely popular and what he says is gospel for a lot of people.
I think he is building a strawman to conflate hell with hades when hell is an umbrella term for all of it. In Greek you have Gehenna, hades, the lake of fire, and Tartarus. 2Peter 2:4 says, “having cast into Tartarus.” When it says Death and hades will be thrown into the lake of fire, it means death will be done away with. As for if wicked people are punished in the lake of fire. Yes Bible says that in Rev 20:15
Seventh days argue we should at least keep Sabbath but seems like cherry picking. Others say Jesus didn't come to abolish the Law. Messianic Christians say we should keep it a lot of it.
The big debate is one small letter in the word right before "my hands and my feet." The standard Hebrew Bible (Masoretic Text) reads כארי ("like a lion"). But the ancient Nahal Hever Dead Sea Scroll fragment has כארו instead. 4Q88 (also called 4QPs^f or 4QPsalms^f), a Psalms manuscript from Qumran (Cave 4) hints at the aleph missing.
In the clear infrared photos (B-366235 and the 1956 negative), the last letter looks longer and straighter, like a vav (ו), not a short yod (י).
That matches the ancient Greek Septuagint, which says "they dug" (ὤρυξαν) my hands and feet. The Greek verb can be translated as gouged, tear, excavated.
