1 | y is it harder for a rich man to enter.. | Luke 13:24 | Empty_Me | 130777 | ||
could someone please explain this verse to me properly. " o say again- it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Mathew 19: 24 My step dad who is not a christain asked me what it meant....and I wasn't entirely sure...except that its harder for a rich man to realize his need for God b/c his wealth creates a false sense of self-sufficeny/ security. | ||||||

The eye of the needle is a literal sewing needle and a real camel. He was using this these to emphasize the impossibility of something. He was not saying the the rich can not enter the kingdom. He was illustrating the just as a literal camel cannot go through the eye of a needle, it is imposible for a rich man to enter the Kingdom if he continues to cling to his riches and does not put God first. Luke 13:24 | ||||||
