“You guys know it’s impossible for a camel to pass through the eye if a needle, right? It’s called an analogy, you yokels.”

It seems more likely that it’s a mistranslation of “thick rope”, which is basically the same as the word for “camel” in Aramaic. It makes way more sense that way. Why would a camel go through the eye of a needle? That’s just absurd. A rope is the same kind of thing you would put through the eye of the needle, it’s just way too thick. And the fact that a single fiber from a rope could fit if you peeled away all the excess, makes it a much more apt metaphor.

I mean it still works since a camel (the animal) wouldn’t fit anyway. And can be interpreted as a possession.

Also the text says
That’s not a metaphor. The camel thing was a colorful metaphor to demonstrate the point.
That’s luke 18:22
Most people who call themselves Christians do a piss poor job of it. Some of them then go “oh well I’ll be forgiven it’s okay”. That’s not really following the intent. That’s trying to take advantage of someone’s kindness.

This is why I stopped being Christian. I recognized that whatever good in my would be forever obscured if I used God as a shroud, and I was 100% prone to simply saying ‘sorry God, nbd yeah?’ .
It’s also the reason I just don’t trust Christians or Christian knockoffs (Mormons). You can’t.
