Sounds like something a Pharisee would have said to Jesus.

It is something Jesus said to the people.

I also suggest you do an objective study on the various meanings of the word translated, "world" in Scripture, and its meaning in the context of the verse you quoted in John 3.

God allowed the Bible to be so corrupted so that I can not take a simple but foundational verse like John 3:17 literally?

Yes, but when someone other than Jesus says it, it sounds soooo Pharisaical.

"Isn't that special?"
