It is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than for a rich man can go to heaven

[Igel]

11. But wasn't his final judgment.

Which, per the sources, would be yet to come in any event.

The narrative continues,

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Notice the word "perfect." If all of us must be "perfect," you know, I haven't sold everything and taken a vow of poverty. Unless you're using a public computer in a library because you own neither phone nor computer, neither have you. As for "loving my brother as myself", I have enough trouble with "thou shalt not murder", if merely cursing somebody counts as murder.

(My takeaway: it's the love of possessions that gets in the way; and just as Israel would "wax fat and forget God" so it is with people--that whole 'love of money" where "love of" is often omitted and the quote is mangled to 'money is [the] root of all sin'. Except that love of a person, of a country, of an idea, of some possessions can just as easily do the trick as money. Bathsheba wasn't 'money', now was she?)

As for the final bit, "But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first," I've always taken that not as "to gehenna with you!" but just as not being at the top of the hierarchy that Jesus metaphorically sets up--apostles judging the 12 tribes of Israel--but falling among the "least in the kingdom of God' category.
