Christianity in the Service of Religious & Political Corporations

D.R. McConnell, in his book, A Different Gospel, writes: "It is a strange curiosity that those Christians who are most adamant that our generation is the generation that will see the Lord's return - and the end-time deception and apostasy associated with his return - look for signs of this deception outside the church, in such conspiracies as the New Age movement, and in such cults as Mormonism, the Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Science. Admittedly, these movements pose potential threats to the church, but perhaps we would do better to look for the deception of the end-times where Jesus and the New Testament predicted it would occur: within the church, within groups that call themselves "Christian" but which actually preach a different gospel."

Would like to here the opinions of all concerned.

Any thoughts?

Church and Christianity have always been a tool of the rich to deceive the poor, ever since Constantine declared Christianity to be the official state religion of the Roman Empire.
The same thing can be observed in other religions too.
I dont see why the End Times are now, this practice has always existed, its not new.
