The Sadducees Believed There Was No Spirit?


Acts 23:7-8(NKJV)
And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided. 
For Sadducees say that there is no resurrection—and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees confess both. 

Makes you wonder how they could have been one of the two mains forms of Judaism doesn't it?

Because the resurrection hadn't happened for so many years I can see how they might have doubted that.  After all a lot of the Scripture in the OT about the resurrection ban be a bit cryptic.  But how could they not believe in Angels and spirit?  The Old Testament is replete with unambiguous references to both. 

Did the Sadducees think God was lying to them in Scripture?
