They were both member groups of the Sanhedrin but they did have some different views on things. The Pharisees would typically have reached out more to the common people of the day. The saducees would have ministered more to he rich and they did not believe in heaven. They were not esencially enemies considering the fact that they all united against Jesus.

What is a statement that best describes the position of the Pharisees in Palestine during the first century CE?

The Pharisees were a Jewish sect known for their strict adherence to religious laws and traditions, as well as their emphasis on the oral Torah and moral purity. They were influential in society and often clashed with other Jewish groups, such as the Sadducees and Essenes.


What did the Pharisees believe that the Sadducees did not?

The existence of angels, demons, resurrection of the body, and life after death.Answer 2:The Jewish group that concentrated on the study, teaching and application of the Torah in every century was and is the Torah-sages and their many disciples, from Abraham down to today.The word "Pharisees," which is based on a Greek misspelling used by Josephus, refers to the Sages of the Talmud. (The Hebrew word "p'rushim," to which he referred, means people of temperance; the opposite of epicurean.)Josephus talks of three groups among the Jews in late Second-Temple times: Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. This may convey the mistaken impression that the Pharisees were just one "sect" among others, when in fact Josephus himself admits that the Pharisees (Torah-sages) with their disciples constituted the large majority of the Jewish people.Although some people portray them poorly, in fact the Pharisees were very egalitarian. They believed that all men were created in God's image and that all had the same rights, and the same right to an education, etc. They were devoted to the practicing of kindness, the fulfillment of the Torah, study and teaching and the education of all people, regardless of status in society. They detested hypocrisy and actively sought it out and criticized it whenever they encountered it.The Pharisees were the only movement to survive the destruction of the Second Temple and were the ancestors of modern Judaism. All traditional Jewish beliefs today, including the afterlife and the resurrection, are traditions continuing from the Prophets and the Sages of the Talmud ("Pharisees").The Sadducees were men of politics and secular life, continuing in the ways of the Hellenising Jews. They had abandoned various parts of Judaism; and they claimed no earlier source (tradition) for their attitudes. They harassed the Torah-sages; and, like the tiny breakaway group called the Essenes, disappeared at the time of the Second Destruction, just as the earlier Jewish idolaters had disappeared at the time of the First Destruction.Note that there is a common conception that the Sadducees, like the later (and now largely defunct) Karaites, made a deliberate decision to reject the Oral Law and reinterpret the Scriptures. However, a careful perusal of the Talmud reveals that the Sadducees were actually opportunists who had nothing much at all to do with religion in any fashion. They were lax in Judaism; they were men of politics who weren't interested in Torah-matters.At that time the Jewish courts still had the ability to enforce the Torah laws; and almost all Jews were Torah-observant; so, in order to avoid total rejection by the surrounding community, the Sadducees outwardly maintained a facade of keeping the major Torah precepts (such as the Sabbath), while ignoring the Oral Torah and customs and flouting the words of the Sages. They went lost not long after.The group that did (on rare occasions) argue with the Torah-Sages concerning subjects of religious observance, were a tiny sect called the Baitusim (Boethusians), who quickly died out.


What influence did the Sadducees have on the Jewish people?

Since the Sadducees were men of politics, power and secular life who begrudged the Torah-sages their influence, some of the weaker ones in the religious community became weakened still further.After the Second Destruction, however, the Sadducees showed their true colors by abandoning the Jews completely, and they went lost.
