Well yes, there is hope, if the rich man does penance and pray daily. Because today a rich man have to be careful with his wealth in order not to lead other to evil doing or sin.
He has to be careful not to be busted with the laws.
He have to becareful not to get sued for unfair behavior.
A Rich man wants to give alms in hidden quite way without even getting a Thank you in return and to get only some reward in heaven. But this is hard.
When rich man give away all his money to the poor then the poor become rich and ended up as he is poor. What will happened to the poor man when get to be rich? Well he be evil or good? Each one of us must lead all to God and not to hell as that what the just man does.
Please pray for the rich people to go about doing good in such a way as they will merited everlasting life for themselves and for other.
Jesus in the gospels never told exactly to each rich man to give away their wealth-right away. But to grow in hoiliness

How much money one has does not have anything to do with it. It is what one's main values or focus is. If it on God's Kingdom and the doing of God's will, you are OK. If it on the LOVE of money and getting more, your in trouble.
Jesus only got on those whose main concern was their lifestyle and money, not spiritual things. He saw their hearts.

Christ didn't say it was impossible for a rich man to enter heaven. He said it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. A rich man can do a lot of good with his money if he will let the Lord guide him. The hard thing for the rich man is to get his money honestly, lovingly and righteously. You can't walk all over people getting rich. You can't love the money.

God will see what he does with his money. If he hoards it away like a selfish beast God sees that greed in his heart. If he is open, generous, and gets money due to his own hard work he can still get into Heaven. The Bible only says it is hard because the heart of a rich man is usually greedy. There are some who choose to spread their wealth where it is needed.

question: * If is replaced right into a parable, why did no longer Jesus expound its actual meaning to his disciples in private, like he did all the different parables? * If it replaced into an easily journey, would Jesus lie relating to the tale, if there replaced into an underlining meaning to the tale? * If Jesus replaced into so against the "hellfire" teachings that JW's say the bible would not practice, why would he be conscious a passage that way? Conclusions: that's the WBTS that rejects the two the instructions of Jesus and the bible to return up with a reinterpretation of what the text fabric on no account pronounced. If the Jerusalem bible has a similar opinion with the fake coaching, pass and get a Scofield bible. It confirms the pre-trib rapture in the margin. The bible says what it means and means what it says. enable's attempt a face fee interpretation.
