Yes, are you aware of what the Eye of the Needle actually referred to?

I know you weren’t about to spout that gate in Jerusalem BS. Cause you’re not that gullible.

Besides the ethic was clearly cribbed from Plato who is said, “It is impossible fro an exceptionally good man to be exceptionally rich.” (Plato, LAWS, 743A)

We can assume that the phases were understood to have the same meaning at the time based on “Celsus On the True Doctrine” written by Celsus in 178CE, available in the 1987 translation by R. Joseph Hoffman

“Not only do they misunderstand the words of the philosophers; they even stoop to assigning words of the philosophers to their Jesus. For example, we are told that Jesus judged the rich with the saying ‘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.’ Yet we know that Plato expressed this very idea in a purer form when he said, ‘It is impossible for an exceptionally good man to be exceptionally rich.’ Is one utterance more inspired than the other?” (94)

I become familiar with with the quotes by reading “The Jesus Mysteries” by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. Only a bit through it but highly recommended.
