"V16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. V17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast said well, I have no husband: V18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. V19 The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. V20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."
Have you ever noticed how the unbeliever is an expert in the things of God? The woman at the well did what all unbelievers do before they meet the Master; they quote what religion says, instead of what God says, thereby revealing that they base how they see God, on how they view the religious of their era/area/custom.
The unbeliever does the same thing today. Why would I want to be like this person or that person, instead of looking to Christ? We don't get into the presence of God emulating people."
