Dogsniffās comment would be considered undeleteable also unfathomableā¦. as in wtf? Huh? Scratching head? Much too early and too little coffee to try to figure out any meaning there might be to that.
Actually, the Facebooker canāt see the profile of the Facebookee unless the Facebookee turns, too. And, since the Facebooker is facing us, youāre right, the turn should only be 90 degrees. Letās face it, this horse is dead.
ps: Thor and BC are facing the same direction. If BC turns 90 degrees, he wonāt be looking at Thor, except peripherally. If he turns 180 degrees, heāll be looking at Thor, who would then presumably turn 90 degrees to show his profile.
There was a small gate in the city wall of a size suitable for a single man to go through (see āsally portā) that was known as The Eye of the Needle. Or so Iāve read.
actually another mistranslation by semiliterate catholic monks: the word translates correctly as Rope, passed through a needleās eye. makes much more sense.
Actually, if BC turned 90 degrees, Thor would be looking at HIS profile. Thor would have to turn 90 degrees and BC would turn 190 degrees to see Thorās profile.
I canāt speak for the tip of the spear thing but the other āFor it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
I think it happens when you forget to use a / before the esc command in the last set of angle bracketsā¦ happened to me the other dayā¦ no ādeleteā, āreplyā, or even āflagā optionsā¦ handy to know if you actually want to post a comment that canāt be flagged tho!
Actually, the idea that the eye of the needle was the name of a smaller door within a larger gate is a modern idea that has no real basis in what is known of the times. There were such doors allowing people to enter when the city gates were closed for the night, but no evidence exists at all that they were ever called the eye of the needle. The eye of the needle that Jesus was referencing was exactly thatāthe eye of a needle. As for the suggestion of a rope, the word used in the Greek text is actually ācamelā so there is no question of āsemiliterate catholic monksā getting it wrong. There is some similarity between the word for āropeā and the word for ācamel,ā so an early transcription error is not entirely out of the realm of possibility, but the plain meaning (whether camel or rope) is a metaphor for āimpossible.ā Jesus goes on to say that with God all things are possible. It is Godās grace, in other words, that makes the impossible possible.

Wouldnāt it be more of a 90-degree turn to see Thorās profile? At 180 degrees youād be facing him full on.
