I have no idea what you are talking about in terms of the vs. thee. Thee is old English for you so there really shouldn't be misuse of thee in place of the. What you're probably hearing are church people trying to sound "good" and say THE wrong, lol.


Thou, Thee, Thine and Thy

P.S. Stop trying to change the Bible, lol.
