Christians are so desperate to ignore Christ that they literally made up a gate that they called The Eye of the Needle and said that's what Christ was talking about. This gate, which definitely never existed and was not at all what Christ was referring to, was supposedly a bit narrower than other gates and a camel could get through it if it was only carrying a moderate amount of wealth rather than an extreme amount.

You can defeat Jesus on technicalities. This is why it's always important to have a lawyer write your holy books.

To be a perfect Christian, you have to become Jewish then? Mashallah! (Just to be sure)

What's really funny is that Judaism is basically rules lawyering as a religion.

Sure can. It's like half of the entire practice of Judaism. No lt about Jesus but it is all about cheating God's rule.
