Can you ascribe to the natural man, as described in 1 Cor 2:14, that he is "in every way very religious"? The thing that makes a person very religious is having been born of the Spirit. Believing in spiritual things is not the cause of you being born again, it is the product of already having been born of the Spirit.
The same example applies to the lost children of Israel that Paul was praying for, in Romans 10, who had "a zeal of God" but not according to knowledge. These men of Athens had a zeal of God, being very religious, but had not been taught the knowledge of God's righteousness, which was that Christ had already paid for their sins on the cross and they did not have to go about trying to establish their own righteousness by the works of the law.

Than you believe Jesus lie
Revelation 21:8
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Jesus say in revelation murderer ...... have the part in the lake.....fire
And you not agree with Jesus.

Most correct.
Allow me to extend that point a little;
All of the new, new age religion interpretations of the Bible has the same effect....loss of chance for eternal salvation, including the following additionally;
Once saved always saved
Universalism (all will be saved)
Baptism not required
Forgiveness is automatic and we need to do nothing
etc...more coming from the new age religion group....end time prophecy tells us.
Further, be reminded that scripture tells us ...in the end times there will be .....great delusions.........not delusions....not some delusions...not small delusions....but,....great delusions.
There is no greater delusion than for delusions to costs us our eternal salvation.

A righteous Christian...must. (see how that is a catch 22...we are not a Christian unless we are righteous by following God's commandments).
Forgiveness is a commandment or...Christ said...vengeance is Mine (suggesting that one better be sorry or)......also.....I will not acknowledge you before my Father.
The Lord's prayer.....forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Scripture also says...turn the other cheek. (which is most often miss interpreted).
There are other references.
