The term "have" in English denotes possession. It also denotes the relative importance of the two subjects/objects in the sentence.

Yes, we "have" God because HE gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit. To say that you "have God" can be construed as saying that you own or hold in an subordinate role, the entity of God.

In your dreams. That is only an opinion, a baseless assumption at best.

That is the arrogance of Protestant thought - that they own or somehow control God for their own benefit. That is not a Catholic thought and never has been.

BWAHAHAHA!!!!

The connotation of your posts indicate possession as in ownership. It is as I have said many times; the legacy of the Reformation is the reversal of Creator and created in the minds of the children of the Reformation.

I am not the one posting as if I own God.

BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Once again, my point is proven.
