1 | How does the wall theory soften? | Mark 10:25 | EdB | 6395 | ||
Morant61 did not give the "rest of the story". Those that support the eye of a needle gate theory further report that for a camel to pass through such, they the camel had to kneel and crawl through on their knees. Thus turning it into a possible situation. However Luke in the original language when relating this story used the term for a medical needle rather than even a common sewing needle. This to my way of thinking eliminates any misunderstanding, Jesus was talking about a literal needle. Also to the best of my study there is no historical evidence of any gates, gateways, or passages being commonly referred to as the "eye of a needle" | ||||||
2 | Did you have a particular source? | Mark 10:25 | Morant61 | 6405 | ||
Greetins EdB! Great point! Did you have a source in mind for Luke's word. I found one reference to it being a surgecial (spelling?) needle, but most of my references and dictionaries simply list it as a needle! Either way, I think the point of the saying is clear! Thanks, Tim Moran |

Tim, Your tongue-in-cheek is great! (be it intentional or not) I get your 'point' about needles being needles. Praise the Lord! |
