1 | What is the "eye of the needle"? | Mark 10:25 | Morant61 | 6384 | ||
Greetings, To the best of my knowledge, the belief that the eye of the needle referred to a small gate is an attempt to negate the clear message of the passage. It was believed that "with alms man purchases his salvation." Therefore, when Jesus said that it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, the disciples were stunned. "Who then can be saved," they asked. The whole point of this passage is that it is impossible for anyone to earn salvation. Not even the rich can buy their way in to Heaven. However, God can provide salvation to anyone. Many have tried to water the passage down by downgrading the meaning. Thanks, Tim Moran |
