Jesus said

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


We know how possible it id for a camel to achieve that

So was Jesus joking or just using another of his parables

Now all the churches are preaching prosperity.

People give testimonies about riches


But Jesus told a rich man


There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”


Was this a joke

Sell everything you have and come follow me

Now churches tell you that getting rich is evidence of "blessing"

What is going on

No where in the bible did Jesus help anyone get richer

A rich can get to heaven, at least Abraham was wealthy. However, it's not easy to make it to heaven with your riches.

The title of the thread is "Christian Heaven"
Abraham was not a Christian

A Camel cannot enter through the eye of a needle though so how can you claim it is possible for a rich man who refuses to abandon his riches on earth to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven?

Jesus Christ then followed it up by saying that God is the only one who can make it possible meaning only God can reduce a previously rich man into a man poor in spirit.

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5 vs 3

2. Jesus Christ was not joking at all since one of the requirements for anyone to find and enter the Narrow Gate that leads to true life is that one abandons all of his treasures here on earth - Matthew 13 vs 44 - 46.
