The central message of Christianity over the last 2,000 years, about Jesus Christ being the one and ONLY path to salvation for ALL peoples, has not changed.

I'm curious. What is your position on Moses? Is he rotting in Hell? Did he go to Heaven, or neither?

I won't tell you what I think... but will remind you what the Bible says.

In the Old Testament, God reckoned Abraham's belief and obedience, as Righteousness. One can assume God did the same for Moses and others who believed and obeyed God.

Though it was different in the Old Testament, there was a place for those who belived God and obeyed Him.... awaiting the fulfillment of God's promise, to send His Son.

After Jesus Christ went to the cross... the Bible says there is no other way but Jesus.

Read it for yourself. It's all there.

Your question isn't exactly clear. I'm guessing you are wondering if, and how, Moses could be saved if he lived and died long before Christ died.

If you would read the old testament you would find that shortly after the fall of man the sacrificial system was instituted. The sacrifice of the lamb foreshadowed (was symbolic of) the sacrifice of Christ.

The whole issue of the sacrificial system is quite interesting, you may want to look into it.

In the begining was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God
Jesus has been from the begining..with Shadrak & friends in the fiery furnace and with Daniel in the lions den..

He appeared to, walked with, and ate with Abraham....

Mark 9: 2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was
transfigured before them,

3 and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them

. 4 And there appeared to
them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

5 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three
dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

6 He did not know what to say, for they were terrified.

7 Then a cloud
overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him!"

8 Suddenly when they looked around,
they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what
they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

Ephesians 4:8
8. Therefore it says,
"WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH,
HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES,
AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

1 Peter 3:18-20
18. For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
19. in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,
20. who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

These are the some of the scriptures that explain that when Jesus descended into hell, He preached the Gospel to the captives in "Abraham's bosom" (all those that died before Him) and when He ascended, He led those captives to Heaven.
According to Jesus, before He finished his sacrifice and resurrection on earth, Heaven was not a fit place for the Patriarchs or anyone.
But it is for all that belong to Him now.

Jesus Christ (meaning the Anointed One) or Yeshuah Messiah (also meaning the Anointed One in Hebrew) is THE way, THE truth and THE life. no one comes to the Father but by Him...to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.

Moses put his faith in the Christ who would come and had been prophesied to do so clear back in Genesis. We look back to Christ who has come. Only a few lived during his actual earthly ministry.

John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
