    “As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Beware of the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

    Avoiding The Distortions

    Contributed by Colin Thornby on Nov 6, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,085 views

    Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

    One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

     | 5,795 views

    There are no riddles with Christ because He will always tell the truth and no one can outsmart Jesus because He is God!

    Let’s start with some fun; many of you will recognize them right away, so if that is you, please don’t answer. What is it?? A box without hinges, key, or lid; Yet golden treasure inside is hid.

    Sadducees Question The Resurrection Of The Dead Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 10, 2018
     | 13,145 views

    The Sadducees were the liberal theologians of that day. They denied the Resurrection of the body, the existence of angels, and miracles. In fact, their denials of all supernatural occurrences were more numerous than their affirmations.

    -Tuesday- Jerusalem (7) Sadducees Question the Resurrection of the Dead (Exodus 3:6) Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40 (focal passage) Luke 20:27-40 27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a Resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote ...read more

    4 essential truths about the afterlife (Material adapted from a Bible study from Insight for Living, Chuck Swindoll)

    This is a complex question. What about this teaching that brothers must marry their brother’s widow? This is the concept of the kinsman redeemer. “If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother shall take her ...read more

    How can David call his son Lord? Pomposity of the Scribes. The widow who gave her ALL.

    BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES. Luke 20:39-47, Luke 21:1-4.

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,028 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    We live now and follow the way of Christ, not only because it causes a peaceful and civil society, but we even deny ourselves now so that we can celebrate with Christ in His kingdom.

    Death Has Lost Its Sting, We Are All Resurrected, But To Where.

     | 11,788 views

    What we believe about death and resurrection affects more of our lives than we think. This is a controversial subject, but it needs to be discussed and understood. Why is this important and what actually happens when we die, according to the bible?
