As far as I know "the seed" can refer to a seed according to the flesh or to a seed according to the spirit.
In the same chapter our Lord admits the Scribes and pharisees are "the seed of Abraham" (John 8:37) but He then says they are not his children, because they do not do his works (John 8:39). So I assume He is talking according to the flesh in the first case and according to the spirit later.
Naturally, the flesh should inherit what it receives from the spirit, but it can, and will betray it if allowed. So apparently (According to the flesh) they are the seed of Abraham but truly they are not.
Christians are the Seed of Abraham:
“And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:29)
Because:
“Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.” Acts 3:23
NOTE: I am very happy to find people speaking about the Bible on Poast. Please excuse me if I got into where nobody called me or if I am missing the point.
