What? You mean their's was a nationalized religion? That is so a violation of Romans 13 and the separation of church and state. Maybe they should have lost as a punishment for elevating biblical religion to the national scale.
Indeed!
 
And, thank God the British won or else Catholicism would havel likely swamped the Reformation in Britain, and we would probably be 'theapking Cathtillian Thpanith.'

Another marvel of the Providence of God.

Edited for spelling.

I agree. I was being sarcastic, sadly.
The reason I said it is because whenever I suggest that the Church might actually be successful and fulfill that irritating little clause in the great commission, "make disciples of all nations", people immediately respond with, "but theonomy is wrong. Paul told us to be subject to the magistrates in Romans 13," as though I were actually arguing theonomy or civil resistance.

Granted, it was a low blow.

Jacob, you much have beaten me to the button. I was replying to Andrew's post. How's that cheek? That tongue must have left a mark.

The English defeat of the "Invincible" Spanish Armada occurred at the battle of Gravelines on August 8, 1588. Though the English fought with great skill they gave God the glory and indeed he scattered the Spanish ships by means of a tempest. It perhaps one of the most significant battles between Protestant and Catholic forces of the Reformation era.

Emphasis mine. The spin doctors of the mid-20th century sanitized the textbooks to omit this observation. Ironically my 7th grade history teacher mentioned it in class, and most likely she herself was an adherent of Rome. I never forgot that.
