“Can’t enter into Kingdom of God” Wealthy
Matthew 19:24

[zencycler]

Matthew 19:24-26 ends with:

...” “Then who can be saved?” And looking upon them Jesus said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Perhaps a person who lives a life without sin - a task that would be much harder for the rich - may not need New Testament salvation to enter heaven, hence the camel through needle eye parable you referred to, albeit misquoted.

Perhaps no such person exists, regardless.

Hence, the last part of that scripture, above, is, IMHO, the more important one.

Jesus once said, “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.” (Matt. 19:24.)

The disciples were amazed, and asked if the wealthy could not be saved, who could?

Jesus replied, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matt. 19:25–26; italics added.)

In the United States, even the poor are wealthy compared to the rest of the world.

All men are sinners, all men need salvation.
