Jesus stated, to not worry about what you eat with your mouth, as much as what comes “out of your mouth.” Torah got that covered?
Of course Torah has me covered! Yeshua said that all commandments will be in force until the end of the cosmos. Not one yud shall pass from the Torah (Matt 5). The comment you cite refers to snacking without washing your hands first, within the CONTEXT of a kosher lifestyle. Yeshua’s words actually say that the body “purges all foods”. And “foods” are those things that may be eaten. He was correcting a Halacha that went beyond the plain teaching of the Torah. Of course what goes on in the heart is of greater importance and that point of view is a central teaching of Torah. How is it that you do not understand this? Do you not know that Yeshua is the living Torah, a burning fire in the form of a man?
