Well, if Bill Gates embraced Jesus as his lord and Savior and repented and let the lord in his heart he will go to heaven.

"easier for camel to pass through eye of needle than rich man to enter Heaven"
This is just rethoric used by the catholic church to keep people under poverty so they could control them better for centuries...and most people in undeveloped countries would agree with that!!!!!
But now we know we have the right to succed and to accumulate wealth and it has nothing to do with going to hell.
If Bill Gate is as rich as he is, is becoz Allah wanted it to be this way...and u can not come here and tell things about Allah that u dont know...
So let Bill Gates alone and occupy of ur own salvation.

That's not what the Bible was saying. It was saying that money cannot get anybody into heaven. On this earth, money can get you social status, nice possesions, etc. So the Bible was saying that only by believing in Jesus Christ will you get into heaven.
By the way, why don't you try to get some English speaking class, or something. Your grammar stinks.

He won't go anywhere
(Ecclesiastes 9:5 reads that the dead are conscious of nothing at all)
And that scripture doesn't mean rich people can't get into the kingdom of god, it just means it's hard for them, because they are weighed down with material things and the pressure to have more.

I have to points to clarify:
(1) This saying can't be said by Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) as this's false saying as mentioned in the next point.
(2) A man is not valid, as to Allah (or God), for his money but for his belief, or not, that there's ONLY ONE God for this existence and for his obedience to Allah's rules He put for us to live the perfect life.

He's also donated more money to worthy causes than anyone in history. He's a man with loads of money who actually feels a responsiblity to his fellow humans to make a difference and improve living conditions.

He is such a nice man he has given SO much of his wealth away to charities especially for Aids research. He is a good man and he will go to heaven I believe.

I don't think being rich will keep you from entering heaven
it is what you do with your wealth. There are alot of people out there that wealth has been wasted on
