Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.

About This Quote

When Jesus said, “Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go.” he was saying that our minds could not go much further than the Gospels. The Gospels were written to bring us closer to God. The Gospels told us that in order to be saved, we needed to love God and love others. Jesus taught us that everyone is precious in his eyes and deserves respect.

Jesus taught us that we were to love our neighbors as ourselves. But what did Jesus teach about science? He didn’t teach us how to make bombs or conquer other countries. He taught us about life, love, and caring for others.
