RE: Sadducees problem - I find it helpful to read the Messianic Mandate section of Luke 4 (16-21) with Acts 2's portrayal of the Joel's Promise of the Holy Spirit's pouring out upon all flesh. We (can) know that the Messianic Mandate carried theological baggage from the Dead Sea Scrolls, (especially 11QMelchizedek) how the good news to the poor and the jubilee (debt forgiveness) themes were interwoven for new kings in Levantine tradition. The SCM.s Stone-ite "experimental religion" (anything supernatural / woo-ish) almost always looses out to Mammon worship when a choice needs to be made. …and forgive them their debts https://michael-hudson.com/2018/08/and-forgive-them-their-debts/
