Sects of Ancient Judaism

At the end of the Second Temple era, many denominations of Jewish religions began to emerge with the compulsion of Greek Greekization. Some of these sects are based on the new Greek culture, others are strongly opposed to these foreign beliefs. The three main groups that appeared during this period are the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essen. The greatest confrontation is very prominent between the Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees became a class in the 3 rd century BC.

In the days of Christ, the Pharisees and Sadducees were Jewish religious denominations. Both groups respect Moses and the Law, and they all have certain political power. Sanhedrin is a member of the Sadducees and the Pharisees, and the Supreme Court of 70 Ancient Israel. The difference between Pharisees and Sadducees is known to us through several verses and existing Pharisees' works. In terms of religion, the Sadducees are more conservative in the doctrine: they insist on literal interpretation of the Bible poetry; on the other hand, the Pharisees give the same power to write the word of God to verbal traditions I will. If Sadducees were unable to find orders in Tana, they regarded it as artificial.

There were several Jewish minor denominations around the 1st century AD. Pharisees, Sadducees, fanatics, Essenes, and Christians. After the second temple was destroyed in 70 AD, these sects disappeared. Although Christian survived, by breaking Judaism and becoming an independent religion, the Pharisees survived in the form of rabbinic Judaism (hereinafter referred to as "Judaism"). The Sadducees rejected the revelation of the prophet and the Bible God and rely only on the law as a revelation of God. Therefore, some of the other core principles of the Pharisee 's belief system (which became the foundation of modern Judaism) were also rejected by the Sadducees. (Samaritans practice similar religions and are traditionally thought to be separated from Judaism.)
