Revelation 9
20-21 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Comments by Joan Boney:
In the 1990's, I was trying to find a church to attend.
On a Wednesday night, I went to a small non-denominational church. Pastor was teaching from John 8, concerning the woman taken in adultery. Pastor said, "And when she was brought before Jesus, she was naked from the waist up."
I was so shocked. I knew this was not in John 8.
I looked at the faces of the people in the congregation. The men had very lustful grins on their faces. No one that I saw was looking in the Bible to see this scripture.
I grabbed my Bible and read John 8, though I knew what pastor said was not in John 8.
The next day I called this pastor. I told him I had been in his church meeting the night before. I told him I could not find in the Bible that the woman brought to Jesus was naked from the waist up as he had said. I asked where this is in the Bible.
Pastor grew very still. Then he said, "I can't remember where it is in the Bible." (a lie)
I told pastor it was very important for me to know where this information is in the Bible. I asked pastor to look it up and tell his secretary where it is in Bible and have her call me to tell me.
Pastor screamed the following over the telephone: "All right. It's not in the Bible. Where do you go to church."
(I was looking for a church to go to but I was not going to a church where the pastor told lies to his congregation and to me, and knew what he was teaching was not in the Bible.)
I heard another pastor speak something not in Bible. He said Sarah and Hagar were 1/2 sisters.
He also lied when I asked him where this was in the Bible.
He first said he couldn't recall where it was in the Bible.
And then he admitted what he taught was not in the Bible.
Why was there no sorrow? Why did neither pastor repent?
The reason is antichrist does not repent when he teaches things opposite to the Bible.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Also we read God sends them strong delusion so they will believe a lie so they will be damned when they take pleasure in unrighteousness.
II Thessalonians 2
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
There are some very bad things going on today in churches.
