      There is actually a biblical scholarly debate over the "camel through the eye of a needle" passage. Whether it means that it refers to a literal camel or a very thick rope for ships that had a very similar Hebrew word to the word for "camel". But it's mostly a joke debate, because whether it's either one, it still means the same thing: It's impossible.
