Not a troll post but a genuine question. If the Bible states a rich man can never get into heaven, and Trump and his family are rich, but if they end up successfully saving the country from the Satanists and help restore and protect Christianity in America, will they still not get into heaven? I don't see them giving up their money anytime soon, and they kind of DO need that money in order to run for POTUS and do a lot of the things they need to get done, not to mention protect themselves, so it does beg the question.

I am assuming you are referring to:
“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.” (Matthew 19:24)
If read literally in modern context, this would be taken as it is impossible because a camel could never fit though a needle. But historically, there were small gates in walled cities to the side of the main large gates called “the eye of the needle”. These gates could be used for entering the city when the main gates were closed. These were often used by traders who showed up in the middle of the night when gates were closed. Due to the small size of the gate, camels would have to be unloaded of all their goods and crawl through on their knees.
So this passage historically is saying that a rich man must put aside his worldly possessions (cargo) and get on his knees (humbling himself before God). So this is not to say it is impossible but a task in putting God before everything worldly.
Nailed it.
