medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: Jim Bugslag <[log in to unmask]>
>I recently read that the Greek word for "camel" is similar to that for
"rope", and that Christ's famous -- and, as it stands, rather curious --
parable about a camel passing through the eye of a needle may have initially
been enunciated by Christ himself, in somewhat more sensible terms, as a rope
passing through the eye of a needle.
wow.
who would have thought that a simple mis-translation could have distorted a
text?
how could the Holy Spirit have allowed *that* to happen??
