Did you know “camel” in this case is supposed to “kamilos” in Greek which is a type of large diameter mooring rope.

Kamilos - large diameter mooring rope
Kamelos - the humped mammal

Mark, Matthew, and Luke all copying off each other all used different words for “needle”, with one being a general fabric sewing needle and another being a surgeon’s needle.

You will hear a rumor that the eye of the needle was the proper name of a small gate in the wall in Jerusalem. There’s no evidence for that though. Seeing as Mark Matthew and Luke used different names kills the proper name excuse.

A simple vowel typographical error in copying turns a logical saying into a completely illogical saying.

I love it even more now knowing it's a biblical malaphor.

Always wondered why he picked a camel of all animals.

One day at the End of Time when All Knowledge will be Revealed to me. Anyway, I hope it will.

Anyway, on that day I will finally know how many times the Holy Bible was copied, copied and re-copied by ancient scribes and Medieval Catholic Monks. I will know every version of every manuscript, right down to the Original manuscript.

I'll bet that it will be an impressive body of knowledge.

Totally false, not that it matters in the context of this thread. There is no evidence to suggest they copied off of each other. None.

I get that you think you are cute and all educating the dumb Christians, but you are just showing some ignorance.

The point of this (if there was a gate or not, a rope or not) is not lost and it's meaning is the same.

"Eye of a Needle" has been used through out time. Even to Koran mentions the "eye of a Needle". Did Mark and his brethren copy the Koran?

etc etc.


None of that matters in the meaning.
