1 | What is the "eye of the needle"? | Mark 10:25 | Inerrant Word | 6374 | ||
In speaking of the "eye of a needle," what historical evidence is there (please give references) that Jesus was speaking of one of many supposed exits/entrances in the walls of Jerusalem used to help reduce the threat of invasion? I've heard explanations by some that these narrow "needle eyes" allowed immediate access to outside the city walls without having to travel to one of the large commercial/main gates, thus reducing the threat of invasion while still allowing freedom of personal movement. | ||||||
2 | What is the "eye of the needle"? | Mark 10:25 | pcdarcan | 124997 | ||
The eye of the needle is a literal sewing needle and a real camel. He was using this these to emphasize the impossibility of something. He was not saying the the rich can not enter the kingdom. He was illustrating the just as a literal camel cannot go through the eye of a needle, it is imposible for a rich man to enter the Kingdom if he continues to cling to his riches and does not put God first. Luke 13:24 | ||||||
