Is Christianity Illogical?

[spockrates]

I saw a documentary which among other things explained that the word Camel was actually a misstranslation of the word rope.

I suppose that idea gives a little more hope to rich folk!



In either case, I suppose Jesus would be using hyperbole. The thought of trying to thread a needle with a camel would get more laughs, I think.

It does show that errors creep into the bible, small changes can affect the meaning in large ways.

I think it shows that those in the know, know better than those who are not in the know. You know? Can you find one reputable translation based on sound scholarship that translates the Greek word as rope, rather than camel? If someone wants to believe Jesus said rope, that's OK. But I'm unsure how a view not supported by any reliable translation prooves a vast majority of modern scholarship wrong.
