It seems Saducees didnt believe in Resurrection .How and why so ?

Question

is it because Resurrection was not emphatically told by the Lord either personally or through His prophets in the scriptures available to them then?Resurrection is central to the grand sceme of things the Lord has worked out for the whole mankind. How were these people (Saducees)with such a blasphemous thought tolerated by others who knew the Truth?What made them not believe in Resurrection and yet be part of the Lord,s Chosen People? How did they come to follow this no resurrection doctrine among their people.Who taught them to think like this?

Answer 1

I will address just one of your questions: "Is it because Resurrection was not emphatically told by the Lord either personally or through His prophets in the scriptures available to them then?"

No that is not the case because the resurrection is very clearly taught in several places in the Hebrew Scriptures. (Old Testament)

Isaiah 26:19 states: "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead."

And we read in Daniel 12:2 - "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

The earliest references however, are in the book of Job, in verses 7 -15 -

"For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands."

Answer 2

The Sadducees, an elite hereditary class in Jewish society, were the official priests of the Temple and had a religious duty to teach and interpret The Law and to combat attempts by other religions to seduce Jews into worshipping false gods. The Sadducees taught that only the written Law had divine authority. The Sadducees did not believe in the doctrines of resurrection of the body, immortality of the soul, nor the existence of spirits and angels because Moses never mentioned those things in his writings so any such teaching had to be heretical. The Sadducees probably composed many hypothetical stories and situations based on Mosaic Law that ridiculed Christians for believing they would "rise after death."

Answer 3

The Sadducee's were based in a social religion.
The here and now.
They had no clue as to the spiritual.
The were very sad you see.
I would suspect that it was more of a social gathering then anything else.
More like the Unitarian of today.
They had the scriptures the same as the Pharisees. The Pharisees did believe in an afterlife. The Pharisees had the spiritual the Sadducee's didn't.

Answer 4

They just simply thought that this life was all there was to serving God and living a faithful life. There just isnt a lot of ground to cover in the OT in my opinion when it comes to discussing and studying the deeps spiritual things about our existence. Only when Jesus shows up do we start to have a lot of our questions about the afterlife answered.
