He son did though: Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Every person that I have ever known that died left all their worldly possessions right here on earth. This was an analogy for the 'eye of a needle' was a gate that only allowed people in and unloaded camels to crawl through at night. So if your camel is loaded with ill gotten gains it is NOT going in with you. Nothing about class envy about it.

Oh? Then why did he tell the man to give all his possessions to the poor earlier? The gate "idea" is a common, unfounded, heresy.
