Jesus said this to mean that unless you are willing to give up everything and follow him you are not getting to heaven. A rich man is too in love with his posessions and therefore not willing to give up his posessions and take up Jesus' cross

Where in the Bible is the verse about the eye of a needle?

Can you get a camel through the eye of a needle?
No, that is the point of the proverb. it would have to be a really big needle. ;) ~Rae the eye of a needle refers to a hole in the Jerusalem city wall that was used to enter the city when lock-down, due to possible enemy attacks. It was very difficult to push through the camels through these holes...hence the phrase "it is easier that a camel go through the eye of a needle , than a rich man to enter the kingdom of god" The term needle is not a sowing needle, which would make it impossible to pass a camel through.

Did poor people make it to heaven?
Yes, God doesn't care about how much money you have. If anything it could be easier due to the fact that is written"It is easier for a rich man to enter the eye of a needle, than enter the kingdom of Heaven". But one must be careful not to judge either, or paraphrase the bible out of context. The whole chapter that the phrase is found must be taken into account, anything else leads to a fault in ones position on the subject being discussed.
Can a wealthy Christian go to heaven?
AnswerThe synoptic gospels say that it is easier for a camel to go throught the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. However, this is missing from John's Gospel, in which many of Jesus' friends were wealthy people. In JohnJesus saved many of his best miracles to help his rich friends. So, if heaven exists, John gives hope that wealthy Christians can go to heaven.
