Now that's what I call a loophole.the Bible states that we are to be rich enouph to have a huge needle forged
then you ride a camel through the eye of that huge needle...
presto, you get to go to heaven

Forging a gigantic needle is easier to believe because we know what a gigantic needle is and it is possible to make one but we have no evidence, known to me, of any gate in Jerusalem being called "the eye of the needle" nor that any such gate (if it existed) was called by that name BECAUSE one had to humble oneself (or one's camel) to get through it.What's easier to believe--a city gate being called the "eye of the needle" or having to forge a gigantic needle?
So, folk speculate that the Lord's saying may have meant that it is easier to pass a rope through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven?
Or is the theory about a gate called "the eye of the needle" documented in ancient sources?
