Eye of the needle in the Bible. People have tried to water down Jesus' statement about it being harder for a rich man to enter Heaven than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Some wrongly interpret the eye of the needle to be a small gate entering the city. Others wrongly interpret camel as meaning rope. But Jesus used a wonderfully clever illustration and meant what He said. The eye of a needle means the eye of a needle.

Jesus said, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24. Similar verses are in Mark 10:25 and Luke 18:25). What is the eye of a needle, or a needle's eye?

Many people have tried to explain this phrase. We believe it means exactly what it says, and does not need watered-down explanations to make it easier for a rich man to enter Heaven. We will show you why.

Small gate?

Some say the needle's eye, or the eye of the needle, was a small gate at the entrance of Jerusalem and other cities. When the city-keepers had locked the main gates, camels and their owners who arrived after hours could squeeze through this gate.

But scholars have searched in vain to find ancient evidence that people referred to any of these gates as “the eye of a needle”.

Camel means rope?

Others have said the Aramaic word for camel was the same as the word for rope, and that Jesus meant it was hard for rope to go through the eye of a needle. Well, Jesus did speak Aramaic, but again, reliable evidence is weak that this is what He meant.

Such explanations downplay the wonderfully memorable and clever illustration that Jesus came up with to teach the difficulty of getting into Heaven if you are loaded with loot. He was talking to the rich young ruler at the time, and the man was sad at hearing this because he was very rich.

He would hardly have been sad knowing that camels always got through the city gate. And he would hardly be sad knowing that anyone could untwist a piece of rope to thread it through the eye of a sewing needle.

Impossible means impossible

What the rich young ruler was sad about was that Jesus said it would be impossible for him to enter the kingdom of God because of his riches.

The bystanders recognized this is what he meant, because they said, “Who then can be saved?” (Luke 18:26). And Jesus replied, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke 18:27).

This kills the “little gate” theory, because that was not impossible. And it kills the “camel rope” theory, because that was not impossible either.

What these verses say are that:

[list]
[li]The rich man had to be willing to put God before his possessions.[/li]
[li]Only God could save him.[/li]
[li]Rich people can be saved like anyone else if they do what God wants. Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy. And Paul said in Romans 2:11 that God doesn't show favouritism. Anyone can be saved.[/li]
[/list]





The illustration of the camel going through the eye of a needle was perfect for those He was speaking to. The eye of a needle means the eye of a needle. Jesus' explanation that what is impossible for men is possible with God shows that rich men can be saved and enter Heaven. But only if they put their faith in God rather than in their riches.

so they have to use the camel, an animal attached with Islam to let you know that you are too big to squeeze yourself to heaven? is the lake of fire on this earth? please tell us what region it is located.

camel meat; if you eat it you must renew your wudhu.
and you can not pray in it stable because naar is part of the ingredient used to create camel.

Sweetnecta:

so they have to use the camel, an animal attached with Islam

did the camel not precede Islam?

likewise the passage quoted.

i think you're sharper than this nah.

i dont think the camel is exclusively associated with Islam, or arabs only.

Let's forget man-made islamic religion (if one can call it that) for once and deal with a topic most "word of faith" Christians don't understand fully.

More like they deliberately refuse to understand.

Mr Froebel I also think you are right, the eye of a needle as Jesus ilustrateted is actualy the eye of a needle. Thank you
