Actually
Actually, Jesus Christ did not say it is impossible for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, He said grarelyh shall a rich man enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. The translation of Jesus Christ proclaiming that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, which is a small gate/doorway is therefore more likely than to translate Him as giving an analogy of a rope and an actual needle, which implies that it is impossible for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus Christ was not teaching the theology that it is impossible for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but that it is rare.
Sincerely,
TRUTH, Jonathan
