>>Jesus's example was brilliant,and in those days it was very understandable,in that there
were gates known in those days as needles into all cities which were manned. A
traveler coming into the city on a camel loaded down with goods and other stuff
could not pass through until the camel got down on all fours and was unloaded.

Jesus taught that if one was rich he should be willing to
unload his riches for the sake of the kingdom of God. Tithing and giving to the poor is
what we are asked by God to do. This is how a christian unloads. <<

Giving to others (under God's direction)does free us, I couldn't agree more.

<Jesus did not teach per se that it was impossible for a rich man to get to heaven>

True. The interesting thing is how Jesus responded to the disciples question about impossibility. Jesus responded that all things are possible for God. Every person coming to know God is a miracle. The angels rejoice in heaven when even one comes to know Him. It is by Faith and not by works that we are saved.
