What did the Sadduccess and modern Samaritan Jews believe about Genesis 6?
Forum category
We can easily document that the Jews held to the “sons of God” in Genesis 6 as being angels. Indeed, the pseudopigryphal book
of Enoch’s “The Watchers” is based on this.
But, since the Sadduccees — and modern Samaritan Jews — only believe the Torah is Scripture (and I don’t know about all the details of the beliefs of modern Samaritan Jews, just that they are more observant than Orthodox Jews, they still celebrate the passover by slaughtering lambs at Mt. Gerizim, and they are embraced by their fellow Jews as fully Jewish), and since the Sadduccess did not believe angels existed, can anyone give me a lead to this specialized information?
