I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part.
Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.
That’s the fun part! It depends on which branch of Christianity you believe in. Some think it’s only faith, some the baptism/saved, and some good works.
