The Pharisees and the Sadducees, though both considered Biblical Judaism, differ in several ways. The Pharisees sometimes called the “Separate Ones”, follow the Torah and believe in the �

�Messiah”. The Pharisees also believe in the “Final Judgement” and “resurrection of the dead”. After this final judgement, those who were of good faith and had atonement will go on to “Paradise”, yet those who were evil will go on to “Gehenna” or hell. The Sadducees on the other hand, do not believe in any sort of afterlife. For the Sadducees there is no “Final Judgement”, no Messiah and no resurrections.

Around 70 C.E., the Israelites who had been practicing Judaism under Roman rule came under heavy speculation. The Roman’s had placed taxes on Jews and taken money from Jewish temples and this created an outrage. Many Jews began a revolt and after much bloodshed and warfare, the Roman’s overtook the Jews and destroyed a Jerusalem temple. In about 130 C.E., the Roman’s exiled the Jews from Jerusalem.
