"Having hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be. resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked" Remember, Ananias (a Sadducee) had come down to Caesarea (Acts 24:1). So who is the heretic? Paul believes what the Scriptures teach whereas Ananias and the Sadducees denied fundamental teachings. Cleary, there will be. resurrection of all the dead, both righteous and wicked (John 5:28). Thus, he served the same God, believed the same Scriptures, and had the same hope in. coming resurrection as the great majority of the Jews did, so how could he be considered. heretic? Paul was not guilty of doctrinal deviation, rather his accusers were.
