Sounds like you need to reread your Bible. (or perhaps read it for the first time?)
Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. His disciples then ask, who then can be saved? And Jesus told them that what is impossible for man is possible for God. With God all things are possible.

Use the good brain evolution gave you and stop being so literalistic.
Anyway the quote is in reference to a small opening in a city gate that an individual can pass through but not a large animal like a camel. It is a metaphor.
Why are you bothering people with nonsense like this?
Get a better education.

The eye of the needle is what your referring to.Its a place in an old town where theres a narrow passage way between some buildings. thats old testiment stuff. I go with what Jesus said.You must except the Spirit of God with in you.ask of it, and listen for that quiet voice which will answer you. all you have to do is have faith. faith opens one to the spirit.then you go from there. I wish you the best.

thats not even the quote!!! i think it sounds more like
"it is easier for a camal to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven" i think that has a totally different meaning

There is a sloka in sanskrit which says
A dumb can sing and a lame can wade across the oceans only if gods grace is there.

BTW, "the eye of a needle" has nothing to do with a sewing needle.
Check it out.
