It's God.
It's always been God.
It'll always be God.

He said to David,
“You are more righteous than I am, for you have treated me well, but I have treated you poorly. Today you have revealed to me how you have treated me well, for the Lord had delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me...."
1Samuel 24:18-19

Protestants who don’t like saints because we ‘worship’ them fail to understand the nature of this relationship. It can be difficult to explain but the simplest summation I can describe is this:

NO ONE knows how to use thou/thee/thy/thine and i need to see that change if ur going to keep making “talking like a medieval peasant” jokes. /lh
They play the same roles as I/me/my/mine. In modern english, we use “you” for both the subject and the direct object/object of preposition/etc, so it’s difficult to compare “thou” to “you”.
So the trick is this: if you are trying to turn something Olde, first turn every “you” into first-person and then replace it like so:
“I” → “thou”
“Me” → “thee”
“My” → “thy”
“Mine” → “thine”
Let’s suppose we had the sentences “You have a cow. He gave it to you. It is your cow. The cow is yours”.
We could first imagine it in the first person-
“I have a cow. He gave it to me. It is my cow. The cow is mine”.
And then replace it-
“Thou hast a cow. He gave it to thee. It is thy cow. The cow is thine.”

This is a tea checkpoint.
Is your tea getting cold?
Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?
Is the tea bag still in?
Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?
Congratulations! You remember now.
