No, that is the point of the proverb. it would have to be a really big needle. ;) ~Rae

the eye of a needle refers to a hole in the Jerusalem city wall that was used to enter the city when lock-down, due to possible enemy attacks. It was very difficult to push through the camels through these holes...hence the phrase "it is easier that a camel go through the eye of a needle , than a rich man to enter the kingdom of god" The term needle is not a sowing needle, which would make it impossible to pass a camel through.
