[UCANSEE2]

The rich man’s salvation was the question, and if the rich man is the rope, he must be broken down to pass the needle.

Yes, but was the 'point' of the story that a RICH MAN could NOT get into heaven, or HOW he gets into heaven? Did the story speak of how he must divest himself of riches, or is that an 'implication' based on the story?

Does it really matter what the needle was, if the 'concept' is understood ?
