   I prefer Gamera. He is a friend to all children.

   He is a wolf in wolf’s clothing who says “I am a wolf” at every opportunity, and the sheep who follow him say “You shouldn’t take him literally.”

   The cartoon itself suggests not all “beliefs” on this question are equally defensible. Neither Johnson nor you are paying any attention to the sequel to the “eye of a needle” metaphor; the disciples are distraught, and and Jesus EXPLICITLY states “With man this is impossible.”

   Reading comprehension.

   Given your name, how can I be sure your anecdote is factual?

   What do you believe is the importance of the disciples’ reaction and “With man this is impossible”? You seem to be ignoring them entirely.

   It’s not a question of what I believe, it’s a question of what the text says. If you don’t read through to the end, you miss the point.

   How can it not?

   One could say “In Julius Caesar, Mark Antony says ‘Brutus is an honourable man.’” This is a true statement. But if you read the line in context, you’ll see his opinion is anything but that.

   You can say “Jesus says it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” But if you read it in context, he says that, absent a miracle, it is impossible. Again, that’s simply reading comprehension.

    My interpretation is the one that makes sense given the disciples’ response and “With man this is impossible.” Nothing you’ve said accounts for that.
