The big one: there’s no historical evidence whatsoever that those gates ever existed.

Camels can’t walk on their knees, and they would absolutely panic if put onto a cart… Which, the carts of that time period kinda defeats the benefit of kneeling with height (not to mention is potentially also anachronistic).

So, yes, "eye of a needle was always a literal sewing needle. Jesus was saying that it was easier for a literal camel to go through a literal sewing needle (physically impossible, needing an alteration of physics somehow at that point) than a rich man to enter heaven.

Jesus was condemning rich people, and the gate thing was nothing but a lie.
