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.

Except it isn't. Not even priests of the same branch agree on how to interpret it, let alone the many balievers that haven't even bothered to read the thing.
