1 | How does the wall theory soften? | Mark 10:25 | Inerrant Word | 6386 | ||
The issue of historical accuracy aside, how is this theory (again, irrelevant of its truthfulness) "downgrading" or "softening" the meaning of the text? A laden or unladen camel would not have been able to pass through these supposed "eyes of the needle." | ||||||
2 | 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. | ||||||
