What the bible says Hell is like

[Pat Mustard]

Yeah keep using post-hoc justifications to hold your irrational beliefs. First of all "christian tradition" didn't get going to the 3rd century. So to say that Jesus wasn't a pharisee because of christian tradition is at best disingenius.

On your dismissal of the 'failed revolutionary' explanation, which is one I didn't offfer in my post, many big things have grown out of initial failures. By your hypothesis Nazi Germany couldn't have happened, nor could the Irish Republic. Bith those entities grew out of failed violent revolutions (in Ireland's case at least five). But theory was to poist Yeshua as a cult leader within Judaic tradition who was co-opted posthumously by the likes of Saul of Tarsus who developed their own Jesus cult in opposition to his official successors.

And I note you don't even begin to touch my statement that the son of god was alien to judaism, probably because you don't have an answer for it.

Did the Sadducees even believe in the God character or were they atheists who just liked to wear fancy robes?

From what I've read the biggest difference between saducee and pharisee factions is that the saducees wanted to keep temple access mosaic laws and full worship only with the Temple families (ie the priesthood and aristocracy) whereas the pharisees wanted all of judaism (well, ok, men only) to have full privileges and responsibilities under the religious laws.
