All humans on the planet have the moral laws of God written on their hearts. Moral laws have always been in effect and always will. The sabbath is not a moral law, it is ceremonial and has only been given to the Jews. Christians are under the laws of Christ, which are a ratification of the moral laws given to Moses and all of humanity.
More on what is the law of Christ: What is the law of Christ?

And again, lifted out of context and twisted. What are we talking about here?
Mar 7:1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.
Mar 7:2 Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

2) The disciples were condemned for eating with unwashed hands.
Aw but there is more...
Mar 7:3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.
Mar 7:4 When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.
Mar 7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"
The rule being referenced here is a tradition of the elders.
Mar 7:6 He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME.
Mar 7:7 AND IN VAIN THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.'
Mar 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men— the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do."
Mar 7:9 He said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
The problem here is not God's Law of clean and unclean, it is the commandments of men.
Mar 7:10 For Moses said, 'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER'; and, 'HE WHO CURSES FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIM BE PUT TO DEATH.'
Mar 7:11 But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban"—' (that is, a gift to God),
Mar 7:12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother,
Mar 7:13 making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do."
What was the problem? Making the Word of God of none effect by their traditions which they have handed down.
Mar 7:15 There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.
Mar 7:16 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"
So, if you eat with unwashed hands and get some dirt in your mouth, it will not spiritually defile you, the foul and filthy things that come out of your mouth will defile you.
Mar 7:17 When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
Mar 7:18 So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,
Mar 7:19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?"
Now it is obvious that he is saying here that if something dirty enters your mouth, that it passes through and is eliminated but it does not defile you spiritually.
This is not teaching about God's Law of clean and unclean, it is teaching about the traditions of men replacing the Law of God.
Like misrepresenting this passage to be speaking of doing away with the Law of clean and unclean by the traditions of men.
Mar 7:1 Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.
Mar 7:2 Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

Christ's death fulfilled the ceremonial laws of Moses. As an example of what this means The Mosiac law of circumcision of the foreskin has been changed to circumcision of the Heart. The temple in Jerusalem was changed to our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and so on. I have posted on this several times before on this thread. Here is a link that explains this in greater detail. What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the law, but did not abolish it?
The Mosiac laws were never meant to be permanent and the mosaic ceremonial laws have no hold on NT Christians.
16Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day— 17things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. Col. 2

some of these threads are great bible studies, bringing and keeping things in remembrance. Although they usually have 2 or more opinions, i can usually agree with one of them, and some day those of us that really want to know our Lord Christ Jesus, will be in agreement with Him. i don't have nothing else to add to thread, all that needs to be said has been said, all scripture has been shown. SALUTE.
