I have to agree, preaching to anyone that they are wrong
is more than likely to get a person stoned now and then!
There is a translation of the New Testament called The Peshitta which comes from the eastern Church. This book was handed down through the generations since Jesus in the original languages, and was only translated to English around the early part of the 20th Century. The translator was a man fluent in the languages, including English. This translation corrects certain bits, including the camel and needle. Apparently, the difference between the words 'camel' and 'rope' occurs in one tiny jot misplaced, in a language that, written, looks like Arabic.
