jesusaid it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the gates o?

No, no amount of money will ever buy you a seat at the Lord's table. Jesus is saying the other way around. A rich person will have a harder time getting into Heaven because he needs to let go of what he has and worship God, not his material possessions.

"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Luke 16:13

eye of the needle refers to a narrow gate to the city used by tax collectors... the gate forces the camel to unload its baggages befire they can enter the city...this gives na orportunity for the tax collector tto look at whats being brought in and to take a percentage. The richer you are the more tax you have to pay.

you cannot buy your way into heave.. Catholic popes do not belive you can buy ure way into heaven..indulgences are use to reduce time spent in purgetory (not move a sould from Hell to heaven) also indulgences are not purelly all monetary it can be spending time reading the bible, saying prayers etc.

Catholic belive we are saved by God's free gift of grace alone through both faith and good works...

as for the parable of the 2 brothers... saying you will do good works but actually not doing good works is also useless..

if you have Love in your heart but do nothing but evil works does the love in your heart redeem your evil works to let you in heaven ?

here are the scripture to back it up:-

Purgatory

Lk 12:59; 1 Cor 3:15; 1 Pet 1:7; Mt 5:25-26 ... temporary agony.

Heb 12:6-11 ... God's painful discipline.

Mt 12:32 ... no forgiveness ... nor in the age to come.

1 Pet 3:19 ... purgatory (limbo?).

Rev 21:27 ... nothing unclean shall enter heaven.

Heb 12:23 ... souls in heaven are perfect.

Col 1:24; 2 Sam 12:14 ... "extra" suffering.

2 Mac 12:43-46 ... sacrifice for the dead.

2 Tim 1:15-18 ... prayer for Onesiphorus for "that Day."

1 Jn 5:14-17 ... mortal/venial sins

Sola fide

Jas 2:14-26 ... what good is faith w/o works?

Heb 10:26 ... must avoid sin.

Jas 5:20 ... "earning" forgiveness.

Lk 6:46; Mt 7:21; Mt 19:16-21; Jn 5:29 ... must do will of God.

1 Cor 9:27 ... "buffet my body ..."

Phil 2:12; 2 Cor 5:10; Rom 2:6-10, 13, 3:31; Mt 25:32-46; Gal 6:6-10; Rev 20:12 ... works have merit.

1 Jn 2:3-4; 1 Jn 3:24; 1 Jn 5:3 ... keep commandments.

Well the bible says that meaning that most people who are rich would not give up physical pleasure of wealth on earth so that they could do the things that God wanted. They would rather have wealth and comfort now then suffer and get eternal comfort later. A person must be born again, this is shown in (John 3:1-7). Now this born again comes from the receiving of the Holy Ghost which was given through Christs death. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. We must then continue in the faith But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don't drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God's servant to proclaim it. Colossians 1:23. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 1 John 4:20

There was a gate in the wall of Jerusalem called "the eye of the needle". This gate was opened for merchants and travelers after the main gate had closed for the day. A camel could go through it, but in order for that to happen, the owner would have to unpack all of his riches and belongings first. He would then lead the camel through the gate, then go back for his belongings and reload the camel.

The only Scripture reference for this answer, is the same passage that you read from.

It's similar to what Hindus and Buddhists teach in that the rich man's wealth and possessions in the parable represented attachment.

The wealthy man asked what he had to do have eternal life. He was in the clear concerning not committing adultery or stealing, etc, etc. But when the man was told by Jesus to give up his possessions he went away mournfully.

You can look at his possessions as a metaphor for attachment or desires that I guess you can say "binds one to sin". The parable is less about eschewing wealth and more about enlightenment..or in this case, seeking eternal life.

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man, to enter the Kingdom of Heaven"

Jesus Christ is talking about those who put their riches and wealth over him.

I think Jesus was jealous of rich people. (Explanation: human nature)

jesus didnt have industrial blenders.

he coulda just poured that camel right on through.
