The old testament mentions King Solomon as the wealthiest person that ever lived on the earth at that time and there would be no one wealthier than him in the future.
Does this qualify him as a rich person? There is also the story of the talons.
This story mentions a master who rewards one of his servants for using the money his master left him to make more money, by investing it.
The slave that chose to bury his talons in the ground, to hide and protect them was considered to be slothful and wicked.
Does this mean that all men and women that invest their money and seek profits are good people? Why would these people be considered good and a rich man will have a hard time entering the kingdom of heaven? Is there a difference between King Solomon's wealth and the rich person in the Bible verse, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Again I tell you, 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.
" Now maybe these are just stories created by man and has nothing to do with what the Jewish and Christian God really thinks.
But if there is a difference between King Solomon and the rich person, what's the difference? Does King Solomon really get to enter the kingdom of heaven?, or as Jesus mentioned, will it simply be harder for him to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Didn't King Solomon build God's temple and create a beautiful world for most Jewish people to live in? If you're not confused yet, you will be if you continue to read more of my biblical verses that just don't make sense.

This is just one example of what I would consider a story in the Bible.
If you truly view the Bible as the ultimate guide for good living, do you get confused with certain statements or Bible verses.
This really doesn't answer the question, whether or not someone like King Solomon actually gets to enter the kingdom of heaven.
I used him as an example but there are many others that could have a life of riches on earth, but difficulties going to heaven if the statement Jesus made was correct about the rich man in the eye of the needle.
