[24] And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel (rope) to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Which version are you using? In the KJV, the term '(rope)' does not appear in that passage =>

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Yes, provided you keep the commandments, sell what you have and give to the poor if you are rich, and follow Jesus. If you are going to read this passage as a possible exemption for rich men, then you have to read it as a possible exemption for those who do not follow the commandments or do not follow Jesus.

It is a well established fact that the Hebrew word that Yeshua used was keml, which would have been rendered as consonants, kml. It means a rope that is twisted together.

Yeshua did not require that all must be given to be saved.

He did not tell Nicodemus, or Joseph of Arimathea, who were wealthy men, that they must give all to be saved. Your words are your own, not the commandments of Yeshua.
