57 The Jews said to Jesus, “What? How can you say you have seen Abraham? You are not even 50 years old!”

The Jews said to Jesus, "Bitch, you ain't seen Abraham. You ain't even fitty!"

John 8:57 and the Jews said unto Jesus, "LOL, Wut?" for Abraham had died thousands of years before.

They were simply saying that Jesus was not old enough to have seen Abraham. Why all the fuss over something so simple.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Why 50?

Why not pick a number closer to his actual age to underscore the point?

Saying "you're not yet 50" to a 30 year old sounds really strange.

John 8 (which includes a lot of extra horseshit aside from this) is also the site of the famed interpolation of the "woman taken in adultery" which even reputable xtian scholars admit - although obviously not the flaming fools who pretend to be such on this forum.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...ersion=KJV

It ends with this:

Quote:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

which does not seem very "godly." More like Brave Sir Robin running away.

Why didn't they use an age closer to Abraham's, does it really make a difference?
