Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022

I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more

We've all heard people say you have to have faith to make something happen. Faith is important to our Lord too. He devoted an entire chapter in the Book of Hebrews to it. To fully understand faith we should know God's definition of it. The Lord defines faith in Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews ...read more
