So in other words Jesus says that they made a big error not "knowing" the scriptures. Without specifying the details of the error or more importantly the nature of their ignorance. We can reasonably suppose that the particular error is their rejection of the resurrection and thet the lack of knowledge is ignorance of the particular passage Jesus referred to. Perhaps you can tell me where that passage can be found which should give us more insight.
It is clear that there is no significant support for your opinion in the passage itself. Which seems to be the pattern in your referecnes to scripture - your major points are never really suppported by the passages you cite. So it seems that you err because you don't know the scripture. Does that make you a "Modern Sadducee" ?t

Yes they were. Ecclesiatics is skeptical about a ressurection too. For that matter, in the first 39 books of the tanakh, resurrection was only hinted at 3 times.. Two of those references are in Isaiah, and one is at the end of the book of Daniel. Altought Eziekel does mention it, it is meant metaphorically. Resurrection is not mentioned at all in the Torah, so it is a later introduction in to the Jewish religion, rather than an older one. Resurrection is also hinted at in Genesis according to a certain rabbinical student who hated the Christian church but latter became a disciple. (But we won't hold that against him). Paul, (formerly Saul the Pharisee from Tarsus), wrote that when Abraham went to sacrifice Isaac he expected that God would raise Isaac from the dead. Here is where Paul wrote that (this is of my opinion that Paul wrote the book of Hebrews, which states no explicit authoriship): "By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: indeed he who gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten, of whom it was said, 'In Isaac shall your seed be called'; Counting that God was able to raise men even from the dead, from which he received him back in figure" (Hebrews 11:17-19) The writer of the epistle to the Hebrews here claims that Abraham in Genesis offered up Isaac believing in the God of resurrection. But is this just a man's wild opinion? Is there anything in Genesis that may supply more evidence for this view? I beleive the answer is yes indeed. Genesis 22:4,5 says: "On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar. And Abraham said to his young men, Stay here with the donkey; and I and the boy [Isaac] will go over there, and we will worship and then return to you" Abraham, knowing that he had to kill Isaac, thought that he and Isaac would return after the sacrifice to the young men staying with the donkey. He expected that the slain Isaac, according to God's command, would be resurrected and return with his father from the sacrifice. And I can't resist adding that the Bible specifies that this expectation was voiced by Abraham, you guessed it, " On the third day" proving once again that Jesus Christ (in His death and resurrection) is the centrality of the entire divine revelation of the Bible.

PaulK, there is plenty of support in the passage. The passage explicitly states they erred greatly and their approach to the Bible in terms of spiritual things. When Jesus says they don't know the scriptures, as I already stated, it is clear that they know the letter but not the real meaning of the scriptures, and why is that?
It is because of their approach to truth in rejecting spiritual things.

purpledawn, good question....we can explore that question, but for this discussion, I think it's important to see that Jesus felt his point rebutted their's. Why is that if the letter is not as clear and obvious in Jesus' favor, as you suggest?

Conservative, orthodoxy and terms like that are fairly meaningless applied out of context. Plus, certainly angels were mentioned in the Bible all over the place, and they rejected that as well.
But when you think about it, the conservative, orthodox folks today in terms of the current evc debate are rationalists, secularists, people that, like the Saduccees, reject the spiritual and supernatural as a means to attain truth.

In other words your only support is something that you say is in the passage but is certainly not found in the NASB translation:
23 On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him, 24 asking, "Teacher, Moses said, 'IF A MAN DIES HAVING NO CHILDREN, HIS BROTHER AS NEXT OF KIN SHALL MARRY HIS WIFE, AND RAISE UP CHILDREN FOR HIS BROTHER.' 25 "Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; 26 so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. 27 "Last of all, the woman died. 28 "In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her." 29 But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 "But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God: 32 'I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living." 33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
Nothing to support you there.

PaulK, yea, nothing there. The whole passage cannot possibly involve Jesus rebuking the Saduccees....nah!

You know full well that that point is not under contention.

Being that there is nothing left of thier teachings, this is all from the stand point of thier opponents, so of course they are going to be the bad guys
as for if there are any modern sadducees, i would say no, no one shares thier philosophy, it can not be argued that evolutionists share thier view since a lot of them are christian, and believe in spirits and angels, and then there are the athiests or agnostics, who do not know if god exists much less angels or spirts

What caused them to read the Bible and reject spirit, angel and resurrection as real, and yet assert the ethics of the Bible?
Imo, there is a clear approach to truth shared by many today, and this approach is something Jesus warns his followers of that they should beware of falling into the same trap.

who knows why they did? theres nothing left of thier writings to find out, as i said before. I figure they rejected the beliefs becuase they came from cultures they didn't trust or believe
