It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles the body, but that which comes out of it. We can eat all things in the name of Jesus Christ. As to if we should keep the laws, dietary or otherwise click HERE to read Scriptural proof that we are NOT.

Jesus was talking about the washing of hands when He said that.
Mat 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Is this about washing of hands, or is that particular verse about things that go into the mouth and comes out as poop? i assure you Jesus was plainly talking about FOOD in this particular verse.
Mat_15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Mat_15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
It is True the Pharisees accused Jesus of sinning because His Disciples did not wash their hands before they ate, this is True, Jesus plainly pointed out that FOOD going into a person is not what defiles that person, because Jesus plainly taught that it is NOT that which goes into the mouth that defiles a person. But what says this generation? They teach certain food do defile a person, which teaching is contrary to Word of Jesus Christ Himself. Is this generation still without understanding, it is NOT what goes into a persons mouth that defiles a person, NOT!!!
Mar_7:15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
So then in regards to food, it does not matter what a person eats, it's called the Law of Liberty. But if a person desires to be under bondage to "Eat this" or "Eat that" or "Don't eat this" or "Don't eat that" let them be, they are weak in the faith and do not understand the Truth, nor what it means to be free of bondage.
Mar_7:18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
i can eat all things in Jesus Christ, because my Lord and Savior plainly teaches what goes into the mouth is not what defiles a person. And the Disciple also taught we can eat all things with thanksgiving. But woe to those who teach others Do's And Don'ts concerning eating of FOOD, trying to put those who are Free, under the yoke of bondage, Eat this, Eat that, Don't eat this, Don't eat that. How are they different than the Pharisees of the past.
The pharisees were judging because some of Jesus' disciples did not wash their hands before they ate.
Washing hands was on of the man-made traditions passed down that the Pharisees upheld.
This passage has nothing to do with food.

What is Jesus talking about here, what can possibly entereth in at the mouth? What is He possibly talking about that goes into the belly? What is He talking about that is cast out into the draught? If it is not Food, or about Food, then please tell us what YOU THINK He is talking about.
