his death on the cross opening up the path to heaven, how did people get to heaven prior to Jesus' existence on earth?
Was it by looking forward in time to his arrival? If so, would other religions that have the concept of a sacrificed child of God provide an avenue to heaven? What about Jews who did believe the son of God was coming, but weren't convinced it was Jesus - wouldn't this give an unfair advantage to Jews living prior to Christ?
Was it based on a different criteria? If so, could that criteria change again?
This is a sincere question. Thanks, and please no mean-spirited dialogue. I haven't had coffee yet today.
