I know what the Lord said. See John chapter 8.
"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins."
(John 8:24)
The above is an absolute fact. The words of Jesus Christ, "if ye believe not that I am," specifically the part where He said "I am" is another reference to the Biblical term, "I AM THAT I AM." (see Exodus 3:14).
Whoever does not believe the He is literally God shall certainly die in their sins. This is what Jesus Himself said and taught, and the rest of the Bible confirms it. And the fact that Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life" is an absolute, unchangeable fact.
Finally, the fact that there are some people who simply choose to wallow in ignorance on purpose changes nothing. Such individuals have absolutely no excuse for doing so. Before being thrown into the lake of fire, these people will be shown for how absolutely guilty and worthy of eternal fire and torment they are, for their choice to reject God and the truth. As it says in Romans, such individuals should have chosen to seek the Truth, but they did not. Instead they decided to withhold the truth from themselves. They deliberately chose to forget God as Paul says in Romans chapter 1. In doing so, they have brought everything that follows upon themselves.
