The parable about the camel going through the eye of a needle refered not to an actual needle, but to a portion of the walls in ancient cities that the camels had to crouch down to fit through. Therefore, Jesus wasn't saying it was impossible, just very difficult. It's the love of money and the preoccupation with material things that can lead to spiritual destruction. As long as you keep it in perspective, you can be rich and make it to Heaven.

Hell Welcomes all Kinds Mega..all Kinds. The Bible writer Luke recounts: “Neither was [Jesus] forsaken in Hades [hell, King James Version] nor did his flesh see corruption.” (Acts 2:31) Where was the hell to which even Jesus went? The apostle Paul wrote: “I handed on to you . . . that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, yes, that he has been raised up the third day according to the Scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4) So Jesus was in hell, the grave, but he was not abandoned there, for he was raised up, or resurrected. So If Jesus went to hell why should other Bypass that place?

AnyBody can get Born-Again.
It is Simple: Romans 10:9
Rich People too.
When you get Born-Again (Spiritman Recreated) you are TRANSLATED into the Kingdom of GOD's Dear Son (Jesus).
The Kingdom of GOD.
Now, the Verse of Scripture says it is harder for a Rich Man to Enter into The Kingdom of GOD.
This could apply to "getting Saved, Born-Again, OR Walking in Holiness AFTER your Saved.
Getting Saved is Easier than Walking in Holiness AFTER your Saved.
Personally, I Think that it Really Means "it is Harder for a Rich Man to "Walk in Holiness" AFTER he is Saved.
Translated is different from Enter Into.

Wealth doesn't become cause for entrance in hell. Its what a person does to gather wealth and how he uses it.
He goes to hell .............for example
if he exploits, cheat , and make unusual profits charging many times more for a product that is in desparate need in emergency situations.
if he makes people sick first with free drugs and then make money selling products at very high prices that heal them like drugs and also prescriptions.
He goes to Heaven,
when he uses his wealth giving needy people free in emergencies, donates to hospitals, schools, in situations of flood, femine or earthquakes etc. to help humanity.
Such people's wealth increases more with the blessings of God upon them.

Well most of us here are relatievly rich, rich enough to own a computer that's for sure!
I think it all comes down to the individual, if you spend all of your time working just to be wealthy instead of spending time with your family that's a bad thing. If you work just enough to provide for your family's needs and spend quality time with them there is nothing wrong with it :)

Not necessarily the verse means that rich people feel they dont need anyone else so they don't look to God for help

More stupidity hell myths. As if someone should be punished for being successful in life, if they are not a truly bad person.

Why should rich people go to hell ?. Just because they have got somewhere in life and made some money, it doesn't mean they should go to hell. Sounds like you maybe a very jealous person of another persons luck in life.
