Luke 20:34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
Romans 14:8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. 9For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
What differences can be seen in these two things?
What Changed, seems something did........
Maybe. Or maybe nothing did. Maybe it is the point being made that is of import, not a literal understading. In Luke, perhaps the point is simply that we need to focus on how we are living our lives right now, and not get too caught up spending our time thinking about what will be in the next life. The question posed to Jesus in Luke, afterall was really meant to try and trip him up and does not come across as someone honestly searching for truth.
In Romans, perhaps the point is simply that we are all God's children.
Not necessarily a change or a contradiction - simply a different lesson.
