      That gate never existed, or at least no evidence for it's existance exists. The myth dates back a couple centuries[1], but I think it's widely established that it is just a myth.

      And here I was thinking that was pure evangelical cope. That’s actually historically attested to?

        It's evangelical cope by evangelicals who don't even understand the supposed metaphor they made up. Even in the gate situation, a rich person would have to give away all their material possessions before becoming Christian or dying to enter heaven.

        When a tele-evangelist (Kenneth Copeland I think) was confronted about this, he said "well also through God all things are possible 😉".

        These preachers know what they are doing, they are just evil.
