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.
Lets look at it logically shall we, the word Rope or cable is almost identical to the word Camel, looking at the context the word rope is a much better fit.
But hey maybe it was camel, it dont mean shit.
But errors do occur in the bible.
My favourite is the "wicked bible", where the important word "not" was ommited from thou shalt NOT commit adultary.

It would be committing an informal fallacy to adopt the opinion of an amateure when it contradicts that of the vast majority of professional scholars. Such would be illogical.

I think I'm asking why others believe Christianity to be illogical and then asking why the reasons given are true.
"If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains (no matter how improbable) must be the truth."
