Did God change? Were the requirements to get into Heaven changed? If they were, why were they changed? Did God screw that one up and decide to change it?

One those who know God know Christ. Those who deny Christ did not know God. Two those who reject the atonement will be judged according to their works and all hve sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

honey, Moses followed the Law given by God with blood sacrifices (very specific blood sacrifices) until Jesus came to fulfill all of those imperfect sacrifices with the perfection of Himself. God did not "change" anything - entrance into heaven has always been one way - blood sacrifice. But on this side of Calvary we go through Jesus because His God blood is the only blood that eradicates sin - the blood of animals could not do that (it only "covered" it until Christ). The Old Testament saints looked forward to Calvary through the blood sacrifice - The New Testament saints (including us) look back to Calvary to the one perfect sacrifice. Paul wrote that the Law (the sacrificial system) was a school master to bring us to Christ. Well now Christ has come and His Sacrifice is all that God the Father will accept as entrance into heaven.

All the Mosaic rituals pointed to some aspect of Christ. For example, in the tabernacle compound it's pretty obvious that the sacrifical altar and cleaning pool pointed to Christ, but inside, so did the lamp and the bread and the incense, and finally, of course, the ark of the covenant where the commandments were kept and judgment was done. Yes, Moses was a Christian!

God did not change. Jesus came to earth after Moses died and before you die. Moses had the choice before he was admitted to heaven to either accept Christ or not accept Christ. He chose to accept Christ. You have to chose before you die. There is no real difference. It's the same requirements for anyone who is admitted into heaven.

It started in the Garden of Eden. God Himself killed at least one of His own Creation, a lamb, to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve. Somehow one loses the glow of God that surrounds them when they sin. After that the Jews that followed God's requirements were to kill an innocent animal to be there covering like Adam and Eve, until the perfect sacrifice that was promised would come which of course is Jesus Christ. Now when Christ becomes our covering as we confess and turn from our sins, Christ makes us look perfect in the eyes of the Father. The word Christian did not originate until after Jesus came and ascended back to tthe Father.
This is as short a course on theology as you will get !!!
What ever promise God makes He promises to stake the very creation He created on it !!! OR IT ALL WILL BE GONE. HE PROMISED !!!
Jeremiah 31
Thus says the Lord,
Who gives the sun for light by day,
And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night,
Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar;
The Lord of hosts is His name:
"If this fixed order departs
From before Me," declares the Lord,
"Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease
From being a nation before Me forever."

Well, I don't see you saving the Children of God from the Egyptians, parting the Red Sea, bringing the basis of the belief back from Mt. Sinai, and leading millions to the Promised Land out of the mandate of the Divine. What have you done for God?

Moses' time was before Jesus. However, Jesus' blood covered the sins of all mankind for all time - past, present and future, which means even the sins of Moses.

One of the requirements to go to heaven is to believe in every prophet and messenger god sent to earth, until the day you are living,means if you died in the era of Moses,then you should have believed in Moses,if you died in the era of Jesus, you should have believed in Moses and Jesus,if you died in the era of Muhammad,then you should have believed in Moses,Jesus and Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon them all).you have to be up to date with all prophets god sends,i hope this is clear.

Moses believe in Christ, he knew that the savior would come to save his people. There are many symbols of Christ in Moses's time. Because of his faith in Christ that would come, he was able to be saved. Remember that salvation comes through Christ, and Moses believed, and had exceptional faith.

Moses spoke to God face to face.
Most theologians agree that the person he spoke to was the preincarnate Jesus.
Moses was as much a Christian as anyone.
He just didn't know it.
