Arminian Reporter And Lifeguard Savior Parody
Special eyewitness news reporter Jake Arminius is on the scene with lifeguard Sue:
Jake: It’s a terrible scene here on the beach… A passenger liner with 2300 passengers on board sank just off the coast. Fortunately, Sue was there to save everyone on board! Thanks to her heroic efforts, she was the savior of 2300 people today!
Sue: I swam out as soon as I could, but I was only able to rescue 4 people… The other 2000 or so people drowned before help could get to them.
Jake: Exactly! As I was saying, Sue is the savior of all 2300 passengers, but especially those 4 who actually were… um… saved…
I’m pretty sure Arminians are the only people in the entire WORLD who use the word “savior” in this bizarre way… And then only when they happen to be arguing against Calvinist theology. The have a “savior” who fails to save and a “savior” who can only offer “potential” salvation.
The God of scripture is “mighty to save.” The Arminian (free-will) distortion, not so much.
