([Camels and eyes of needles](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1560/whats-the-meaning-of-jesus-teaching-about-the-camel-going-through-the-eye-of-a-needle)).

Would be worth pointing out that Jesus also said to give one’s coat to anyone that asked, along with considering the naked lilies of the field.

I’m not sure how often those passages are brought up in sermons by prosperity theologians (as a non-US citizen, I can’t imagine Creflo Dollar being particularly moved by them… nomenclatural determinism?).

Err, perhaps it was just my browser, but the original post to Cecil wasn’t italicised.

This thread can be locked whether I was imagining things or not now at any rate :D.

OK, thanks for the explanation. I’ll leave the thread open, in case any one else wants to comment on the eye of the camel.
