But In Spite Of The Indisputable Evidence From ...

But in spite of the indisputable evidence from God’s Word, it seems that we really struggle with the fact that we can’t earn our own salvation. I guess that’s because it goes against everything else we’ve learned in our lives, especially the way that grades are determined when we go to school.

This week, I found this description of how various departments of one university determine the grades of their students:

DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS:

All grades are plotted along the normal bell curve.

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY:

Students are asked to blot ink in their exam books, close them and turn them in. The professor opens the books and assigns the first grade that comes to mind.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY:

All students get the same grade they got last year.

DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY:

What is a grade?

LAW SCHOOL:

Students are asked to defend their position of why they should receive an A.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS:

Grades are variable.

DEPARTMENT OF LOGIC:

If and only if the student is present for the final and the student has accumulated a passing grade then the student will receive an A else the student will not receive an A.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE:

Random number generator determines grade.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT:

Each student must figure out his grade by listening to the instructor play the corresponding note (+ and - would be sharp and flat respectively).

DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION:

Everybody gets an A. (I wish I was here)
