Christianity or even our churches are faced with a dilemma, whether to embrace religiosity or godliness. Religiosity is based on rituals and celebrations; but godliness is based on our lives. Religiosity and churches help the society to be better; however, it will not help eternal life. But it appears to help godliness and eternal life; and so it is a fake or counterfeit to godliness and eternal life. Jesus told the religious leaders; "
woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." So, religiosity is an enemy to eternal life, even though it may help the society. So, it is a necessary evil; it may help to control crime in society; but it is a fake way to heaven. You may learn more from the lessons below. May God bless you.

The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven.
John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
