It's not impossible for a rich person to develop spiritually and attain heaven. They just have to give up all their riches. So functionally it is easier for a camel to do this other equivalent nearly-impossible thing.

In a Catholic and the way those verses are interpreted is that it’s not that you have to give up all your money but give up greed, it basically means that you should not worship your wealth but place your highest of high towards God, then and only then you can use your wealth towards the Good as you have no more attachments.
I think Protestant have similar interpretations but I could be wrong as they have many denominations.
>I think Protestant have similar interpretations
Lol, I see you've never heard of the prosperity gospel

"Protestant" is such a broad group of beliefs it's nearly impossible to make any sort of board assertion.

Well, then they aren't rich anymore, and the camel doesn't need to pass through the eye of the needle. Problem solved.
