    Thanks, Dan Fefferman. Would you please substantiate. .. " we may presume that some of them ( priestly sadducees) denied the resurrection while still confessing that "Jesus is Lord."? Acts 6:7 says that they were obedient to the faith. Isn't the belief in resurrection an integral part of the faith ? Commented Oct 20, 2025 at 5:33
  • Your lead sentences are confusing. I think you mean to say that Paul did not insist on verbally affirming belief in the resurrection, but what you actually wrote leaves ambiguous the "it" that Paul did not insist upon. The most natural referrent is "belief in the resurrection", but that doesn't make much sense. Commented Oct 20, 2025 at 18:27
  • Thanks, John Bollinger. Mtt 28:11-15 narrates how the news of Resurrection was deftly suppressed by Chief Priests , with an effect that was lingering even as the Gospel was getting written :" So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.". Was it not possible that those who openly spoke of the Resurrection were persecuted by the authority ?
