It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Mark 10:25-27. Let's clear up a misunderstanding about the eye of a needle. It is not a very small doorway in the wall of the city and a camel couldn't go through it unless they took off all the stuff on the back of the camel. It is a needle with a small hole in it. A camel COULD be put through the needles eye, but it would be very time consuming. Very few rich men might even consider going into heaven, but it has been done. Now for, "WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE" to be saved. Reread that very carefully. With man, by man, and through man, it is IMPOSSIBLE to be saved. No one can do ANYTHING about saving themselves. Again, no one can do ANYTHING to help save themselves. The key here is that you can't DO ANYTHING to help you get into heaven. Can you think of ANYTHING, your church wants you to do to help God save you? Anything? Crawl on glass on your knees to kiss the feet of a stone idol? Repeat a special prayer, play with beads? Wear magical underwear? Ride a bicycle for two years? Kill people with your favorite sword? Lots of "things" religion requires for you to be "saved". This is all stuff man makes up and requires you to do these "things" so you get to go to heaven. None of the religions will tell you that Christ will be waiting for you to ask you to suffer in ways like He suffered, that you must "die" to self, flesh, and the old man nature. They ALL want you to do the stupid stuff they say, and hope you don't find out that Christ actually said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6. This only leaves us to the fact, SALVATION IS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND NO ONE ELSE. BELIEVE, and, Be Blessed.
