[size=+1]Part 2

Jesus Christ is saying: "it doesn't make it all-right."
If you do this to your mom and dad, you are going to die the death, and it is a serious thing.

"Corbin", is the reasoning away your actions of doing something that is wrong, so trying to make it appear to be right , when it goes against what God's Word, which clearly states it is wrong.

If a pastor blesses any act that goes against God's Words, that is Corbin, and it is as much a sin as anything listed in God's Word.
If God's Word doesn't say it is right, then it is wrong. And even the pastor that blesses the act becomes part of the Corbin.

These are part of the traditions of men , that Christ warned us about when He was feeding the multitude. When you are stumbling in your life, even in your church, be careful what you pick up along the way; in your ""so-called"" worship. Because you just may be being taught the traditions of men, and Not God's words.

Christianity is not a religion. The commandments of God are real and are forever, that is what makes Christianity real life.
They are of God ,and not of men.


12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;



Once you've given all their money to make yourself something special, or have some right to stand in the church, then you forget your mother and father and their needs, your only concerned with your needs and wants.

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.





Through this one example ; Jesus is telling how the traditions of the Kenite scribes and Pharisees make of none effect the Word of God. And they teach people to do many things , that make void the word of God.

This is why Jesus has warned His disciples of the religious customs and practices of the Pharisees that crept in as leaven , to make void the true word of God.

A kid can tell you if your church is even teaching God's words, Is the Word of God taught in your church chapter by chapter and verse by verse. line upon line and precept upon precept with understanding?

Or do you attended a place with a super preacher that demonstrates his knowledge of the wor l d , & their traditions.
Standing every Sunday never really getting to a complete in-depth study of God's Word.
He might pick up the Bible, but if it is not taught ; as God says it, then he is nothing but a hireling. A wolf in sheep's' clothing, standing before the flock, and leading the sheep into different pastures.
When you leave any service ask yourself, What did he talk about? what was the subject, how did he apply it to the Word? What did I learn from God's word ?
Is your teacher teaching so that you will understand for yourself , or was he putting on a show to entertain your mind???
Is the Subject Christ & what is in the Word, or something of this world?

They teach in every church no a-days traditions confusing people about Gods words. Do that people don't know the difference between when they hear God's words, or mans words. This will cause people to whore after traditions and not God, and God will look at them as the five foolish virgins, that did not have enough oil in their lamp They will be like whores in his sight.

14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:


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.

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.



He is telling us to pay attention to what He is saying. It means that there is a deeper meaning here to whats being said.
Repent and come out of your traditions. Their traditions will perish along with them that hold onto their traditions, if they don't repent .
We need to make sure we stay with what God said, and not what man is teaching people to do in the world.
We can't just choose people over us that are in line with our own reasoning , instead of taking God's Word by faith.
Because the way the world, reasoning things out, is getting worse day by day.

However the thing that defiles each individual is what is in their mind, it is what they believe to be true.
That is what defiles you, or if its truth in your mind, allows you to see the truth.

It is what we accept as the truth that causes us to act the ways we do.
And from your understanding , you either have the eyes to see and the ears to hear to recognize & understand the Truth, or you do not.

The defiling you your self and body comes from your mind and what you believe, and not by what you eat and goes into your mouth. That is what God will hold you accountable for.

No where, is God's health laws brought into this teaching. Christ stated what He was against here. It was the traditions of men, which make void the word of God.

Mark 7:17 "And when He was entered into the house from the people, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable."

After Jesus said what He had said to the Pharisees,He and His disciples went into a house an His disciples asked Him to explain what He had just said. This parable is important for you and I to understand too.

Mark 7:18 "And He saith unto them, "Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into a man, it cannot defile him;"

It doesn't matter what man allows to enter his physical body, that doesn't defile "his soul".

God's health laws don't teach even defile a mans body, and certainly do not defile a mans soul. And it God's words where certainly Not what the scribes and Pharisees taught . So lets stay on point . And lets not add to Christ's words things He never mentioned. Instead lets pay attention .


Consider the "mark of the beast" that all people will accept in the time of the Antichrist.
If you were forced by strong men to receive a computer chip in your head, would that have any sway over what you knew to be true? Would something entering the body, defile you ? Of course not.

You believe what you know to be true in your mind. No matter what man does to your physical body, dose not effect your faith , & your mind is private to you and God only. That's what counts.

The "mark of the beast", taking Satan's number is to accept as truth; what Satan's lies , in your mind. Just as accepting the Truth, is the seal of God , also in the mind , that those over-comers have. As written .

It is to think in your mind that Satan, the one that comes first at the sixth trump, to be the True Christ. When you think that Satan is Christ through your traditional doctrines, such as the rapture doctrine, then you will worship Satan, even in ignorance. That is the taking of the mark of the beast. If anyone wants revelations notes to study farther message me about them.
Revelation 13:17

Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred three score and six."

The taking of the number 6-6-6, in the Greek is "stigma", an old Greek word drawing attention to its use for "counting". It is # 5585 in the Strong's Greek dictionary; "phephizo, psay-fid-zo; form 5586, to use pebbles in enumeration, i.e., to compute; count." We read in # 5586; "Psephos, psay'-fos; from the same as 5584, a pebble (as worn smooth by handling, i.e.(used as a counter or ballot) a verdict or acquittal or ticket of admission; b vote, by stone or voice." Then in # 5584 we read; "to manipulate, to verify by contract, to search for handle or touch."

Their methods have come down over many years, and these Kenites have worn their doctrines and traditions smooth over thousands of years. We are not talking about a number here, but a method of identifying Kenites and their traditions, and the accepting those traditions as being truth. That is what is taken or sealed in your mind as being truth and forces you to either accept Satan as the Christ an worshiped, or rejecting him as the fake he is.

It is the using of smooth stones used over a long period of time, for gauging the accuracy of what you are doing or going to do.
Those stones are the "Kenites" and their doctrines, and when you use their doctrines in gagging truth of these end times you will be deceived and taken by Satan who is the false christ, the Antichrist.
Your not judged by what you hear, by what goes into your mind, but you are judged by what part of what you hear that you hang on to and act upon. It is what is in your mind that causes you to worship the way that you do, and when it goes against God's Word, then you will be accountable and you judged by those things.

Mark 7:19 "Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught," purging all meats?"

Jesus is comparing their words to what you eat through your mouth . Their words entering your mind, is just like the meat that you eat enters into your belly ; in time passes through the body as waste.

You had better be able to discard their words as waste also, just as your physical body discards its waste, that which is unacceptable to its use.
Words and thoughts do mean something, and are just as real as the meat that you eat.
When something goes against God's Word, God expects you to throw it away from your mind . We find it just as repugnant as the waste from your body.

Mark 7:20 "And He said, "That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man."

It is what you allow your mind to think and believe is what will defile you, in the eyes of God. Those words in your mind will take for in the words that you say and the way that you worship. You don't have to talk to a person very long to tell what is in their mind. For every thing that a person finds important will be formed around his conversation. God doesn't have to wait until you speak to find out what is in your mind, for He knows what you are thinking before the words are formed in your mouth.

Think, what was in the mind of the Pharisees that came down from Jerusalem to question Jesus?

The big boys from the main church wanted to know if what they had heard of Jesus was true. They wanted to know if Jesus' teachings were "against their traditions", & Jesus told them to their face exactly what He thought about their traditions.

He told them that they allowed their church to create traditions that went against the teaching of the prophets and God's Word.
He referred to this as "Corban" in verse 11.
Jesus knew that these Pharisees and high priests were trying to kill him for teaching God's Word, and pointing out the error of their teaching. What Jesus taught was love towards one another, and the central theme of these Kenites was to murder and kill those that went against their traditions.

Mark 7:21 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,"

All evil actions of any man, starts in the heart ; the mind of that person. When Jesus spoke about murder, He knew that this was in the mind of these wicked Pharisees from Jerusalem.

Mark 7:22 "Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:"

"An evil eye" is envy, while "foolishness" is "senselessness", the acting without thought of what you are doing.

Mark 7:23 "All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."[/size]

Re: MARK 7: Food or thought? ( Bible study notes I put together )

[size=+1] Part 1:

This little Bible study I put together is in response to the false thought, that Christ was speaking against, God's health laws here. I'm going to attempt to outline who and what is being addressed. And by the end, you see Christ would never speak against God's laws. And God's words contained in His health laws where never even the subject here.

What was mentioned was the traditions of the scribes and pharisees & the their thoughts, about contamination of food, even their spirit by not washing hands by their, traditions.... Not what God's words say ...

That is why we need to follow the subject. and not add things into its that are not there,
Lets look at the whole chapter, and see if Christ once, or the Jew scribes & Pharisees once, mentioned God's laws here.

Mark 7
1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

Where the disciples of Christ eating what God said not to eat ?Were they eating pigs, etc ? Or where they eating bread. What was the problem the Jews had ? What is with the fact that they ate their bread, without washing their hands. Or where the Jews getting on their case for not following God's health laws, because they were eating pork, or some other things God said not to eat ?
We clearly see the disciples of Christ simply eating bread. And the problem the Scribes and Pharisees had was Not, that they were not following God's law. They had a problem with them, because the disciples and Christ, where not following Their traditions of hand washing.

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

God's health laws are not even the subject here. The problem is the traditions of the Jews are not being followed. The traditions of the Jews, are not God's words.


The problem they had with the disciples of Christ, is they were eating " with unwashed hands " ... That has nothing to do with God's health laws. So lets not add God's health laws, to the subject, Because it is not the subject.


4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.


Repeated for emphasis , how this is lost to anyone ? There traditions is what Christ is going to address. Not God's health laws of which Christ and his disciples obeyed . Why ? Because it is God's words. And not the tradition of the scribes and Pharisees .

The word used for "wash" in the Greek here, is "baptizo" and it means a "ceremonial cleansing to where water is used".

It means they were practicing religion to the point to where baptism is implied every time they returned from the market.
The ceremonial ritual that these Kenites followed went far beyond the ritual of washing of hands and the body, but even to the ceremonial baptizing of their cups that they would use.
They had a ceremony for the pots and pans, & the dishes it was served on, and even the table that sat at.
It all has to be sprinkled and dedicated before you took one bite.
Though this was what these sons of Cain are doing, it is not in God's law, nor does it apply to any Christian, or any part of the tribes of Israel. It is all part of the Kenite traditions of their elders. It is what is called "the traditions of men".




5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?


What was the question of the fakes ? Where they looking out for people to follow God's laws, ? Or was it their own laws they wanted to be followed ? This is not a multiple choice question as its presented. They are taking about Their traditions ... Not God's words.

These Pharisees didn't understand what was of God, and what is the traditions of men.
Jesus Christ's answered these fakes in verse 6.

And the fact is, the disciples didn't give one thought about what the Kenite elders did back in the Temple , for their traditions had no part in the worship of God.
The traditions of their elders , was nothing but man's ideas being formed into an idol for themselves .

It was created by one man to control another man, and God had Nothing to do with their traditions at No point.
Those traditions were created in the Temple that had come under the control of the Kenites so far back that most people of the house of Judah had no idea where they came from. Why? Moses law had long been substituted for their traditions. They stopped reading the Bible, and started to adopt the traditions of the kenties .

So now we see Christ's answer to these Pharisees.





6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied ( Isaiah 29:13 ) of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.






7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. ( Matthew 16:11, 12 )


God is telling them that they are laying God's Word aside, so taking up their little quarterlies, and their traditional ideas that has been formed by their elders , and it gos against God's Word.
Jesus is holding all their rituals and traditions up to show just how stupid and foolish they are .

Their elders' traditions have been placed in a higher position than God's holy Word.

Was it the doctrine of God Christ said ? Or was it of men ?


We are talking about the traditions & commandments of men. Not God. That is what Christ just said there. He never mentioned how they are speaking God's words. He said it was their own made up traditions.

Look up What Christ said in Matthew of the "The doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees", are the traditions of the Kenites ( I Chronicles 2:55 ) Christ called them the sons of Cain ( John 8:44-45 ).
And this is what the word Kenites mean. They claimed to be Jews but they were not, they taught their own traditions from their fathers . Which are not God's words. And they certainly did not teach God's health laws. But their own laws. If you understand what happened and is recorded in Ezra and Nehemiah, you would know why Christ would call them fake Judah, but of Satan in Revelation .And that is part of the Key of David which unlocks doors to truth in God's words.





8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.


This cannot be any more plain . Christ said they lay aside God;s commandments .They do not teach His words. Instead, they teaching their traditions of men, the subject here, the washing of pots and cups and hands.etc. Whatever their traditions are, they are not anything God said. They are following their own , traditions.




9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


They are Rejecting God's commandments... And what are they saying to do instead ?
They are teaching their own traditions in its place.

So lets not try and cram God's health laws into this, when Christ just said, they are not even teaching God's words; But teaching their own words.

They full well have rejected the commandments of God, so that you
can follow your own church traditions.
Stop and look at some of the reasons that many of the rituals practices even today; got started in many churches.
They all tie back to what father, mother, grandparents, and generations of the past substituted for any reason into their worship. A super preacher of past generations thought up a easy way to circumvent God's Word, and the family has been doing it ever since And teaching their congregation to do so. ( Rapture ? the list gos on ).

Their thought is : "It doesn't matter if it goes against God's Word because its always been done this way, we have taught people to except it , and that is the way it will be done."

This is the attitude of these Kenites Pharisees and religious leaders in Jesus day, and it is the Same stupidity used today.
( We don't have to follow God's laws, or health laws, it was for the "Jews" )....Such vile bad fruit .....


10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

This is Moses, the same Moses God gave all his laws too ( this includes the health laws God gave ) . But ; These fake Jews claim to listen to God's laws; that were given through Moses to the people.

But they don't listen to God's commandment, They listen to their own laws.


11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

Jesus is quoting to the Pharisees Scripture that came directly from the mouth of Moses by the commandment of God.

Exodus 20:12; "Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."

Mark 7:11 "But ye say, 'If a man shall say to his father or mother, 'It is Corban, (that is to say, a gift), by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;' he shall be free.' "

Exodus 20:12 is what Moses said in the Scriptures,,,
but this is what your traditions teach, this is what you say.

"Corbin" is a gift that is given to the elders of a church. When "Corban" is given to an elder it is by free will when there is no responsibility or requirement it be given.

Christ is saying in this verse about the Corban is,: You throw your old mom and dad out into the street, by your tradition, and you dedicate their land and all their money and goods, to the church and let them starve.
You say, that is okay that mom and dad starve, because I have given it all to the church.

You say God smiles on that ; and that make it all okay and right .[/size]

[h=2]I posted this yesterday in the "Don't Eat What God Hates. But Why?" thread[/h]

Added words to the revealed greek text have led many to something that is not Scripture.

The case of added words and a parable vol 1

"Thus Jesus declared all foods clean"

Mark 7:1-23, "Then the Pharisees and certain scribes came together to Him, having come from Yerusalem. 2 And when they saw some of His disciples eating bread with defiled-that is to say, unwashed--hands, they found fault. 3 (Now the Pharisees, and the Yahdaim generally, never eat without washing their hands, holding the tradition of the elders. 4 And when they come from the marketplaces, they do not eat unless they wash. And many other traditions they observe, such as the ritual washing of cups, pots, bronze utensils, and beds.) 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? 6 He answered, and said to them: Well has Isayah prophesied of you hypocrites--as it is written: This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. 7 But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the Law of Yahweh, you hold the tradition of men! 9 Then He said to them: How well you reject the Law of Yahweh, so that you may keep your own tradition! 10 For Mosheh said: Honor your father and your mother; and: Whoever curses father or mother, let him be put to death; 11 But you say; If a man will say to his father or mother: Anything of mine which might have benefited you is qorban (that is, a gift set apart for Yahweh)-- 12 You excuse him from doing what he is obligated to do for his father and his mother; 13 Making the Laws of Yahweh of no effect through your ctradition you have handed down! And many other similar things you do. 14 And when He had called all the people to Him, He said to them: Everyone, listen to Me and understand! 15 There is nothing from outside a man, that entering into him can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are things which defile the man. 16 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear! 17 But when He had left the people and entered the house, His disciples asked Him about the parable. 18 He said to them; Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 Because it does not enter into his heart but his stomach, and then into the toilet as all food is cleansed out? 20 Then He said: That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man; 21 For from within--out of the heart of men, dfrom his mind--proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, lust, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness-- 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

Mark 7:1-23,

1 Then the Pharisees and certain scribes came together to Him, having come from Yerusalem.

2 And when they saw some of His disciples eating bread with defiled-that is to say, unwashed--hands, they found fault.

3 (Now the Pharisees, and the Yahdaim generally, never eat without washing their hands, holding the tradition of the elders.

4 And when they come from the marketplaces, they do not eat unless they wash. And many other traditions they observe, such as the ritual washing of cups, pots, bronze utensils, and beds.)

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?

So in context the topic is about a "hand washing tradition," food is not even a topic of the debate. Also for a little bit of Scriptual understanding, this "hand washing" is not using soap, it is a pharisee ritual in which one uses specified silver pichers (also specified by pharisee law) and pours water over the left hand, then the right hand, and again, over the left hand, then the right hand, and according to some pharisee this must be done a third time. But the tradition is not over yet, no, now one would say a "prayer" thanking the "Creator" for commanding the ritual. Thing is, you will not find a single Scripture commanding this ritual, yet the pharisees enforced this as if it was law.

6 He answered, and said to them: Well has Isayah prophesied of you hypocrites--as it is written: This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

7 But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.

8 For laying aside the Law of Yahweh, you hold the tradition of men!

9 Then He said to them: How well you reject the Law of Yahweh, so that you may keep your own tradition!

So clearly Yahshua the Messiah rebukes them for not only making their own "laws" but actually casting aside the Laws of Yahweh. Since foods neing clean or unclean is a common understand attached to this passage, let us consider if food Laws are man made or if the Creator made these Laws.

Genesis 7:1-2, "Then Yahweh said to Noah: Come into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen you righteous before Me in this generation. You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; two of animals that are unclean, a male and his female;"

Leviticus 11:1-2, "And Yahweh spoke to Mosheh and Aaron, saying to them: Speak to the children of Israyl, saying; These are the animals you may eat among all the beasts upon the land" 43-44, "You shall not make yourselves abominable with any creature that moves about on the ground. Do not defile yourselves by means of them, nor be made unclean by them. I am Yahweh your Heavenly Father. You shall therefore consecrate and sanctify yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy. Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creature that moves about on the ground." 46-47, "This is the Law of the animals, and the birds, and every living thing that moves in the waters, and every creature that moves about on the ground. You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean--between the animal that may be eaten, and the animal that may not be eaten."

We can see these Laws literally came directly from the mouth of Yahweh, so when Messiah said: "How well you reject the Law of Yahweh, so that you may keep your own tradition!" It is clear He is not rebuking them for telling people to follow Yahweh's food Laws, but for their pharisee hand washing "law."

Malakyah 3:6-7, "For I am Yahweh, I change not; therefore you sons of Yaaqob are not consumed. Ever since the days of your fathers you have turned away from My ordinances, and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you! says Yahweh of hosts. But you said; How will we return?"

Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."

10 For Mosheh said: Honor your father and your mother; and: Whoever curses father or mother, let him be put to death;

11 But you say; If a man will say to his father or mother: Anything of mine which might have benefited you is qorban (that is, a gift set apart for Yahweh)--

12 You excuse him from doing what he is obligated to do for his father and his mother;

13 Making the Laws of Yahweh of no effect through your ctradition you have handed down! And many other similar things you do.

More evidence of the pharisees adding their own laws to the people why excusing themselves from following Yahweh;s Law.

14 And when He had called all the people to Him, He said to them: Everyone, listen to Me and understand!

15 There is nothing from outside a man, that entering into him can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are things which defile the man.

16 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear!

17 But when He had left the people and entered the house, His disciples asked Him about the parable.

Because Messiah say: "nothing from outside a man, that entering into him can defile him" many that want to reject Yahweh;s food Laws say see I can eat! But when did context of Scripture not matter? In context the entire passage is about eating with "unwashed--hands." Can we completely roemove it from its context and expect to get the true meaning? Also if you consider verse 17, "His disciples asked Him about the parable," yet "all things are clean food" is taught as doctrine, not as parable........Again in context vesrse 17, parable. SO Meswsiah proceeds to explain further:

18 He said to them; Are you also without understanding? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him,

19 Because it does not enter into his heart; mind, but his stomach, and then into the toilet as all food is eliminated?

19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

Now this is where the deception comes in, as you see I have shown verse 19 translated 2 different ways. Which one is correct? The second translation is the much more common translation, here is a short list of translations that match the second translation (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean): New International Version, New Living Translation, English Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, Holman Christian Standard Bible, NET Bible, GOD'S WORD Translation, English Revised Version, Weymouth New Testament.

We will look at the original language, but first I want to mention again, CONTEXT, can we somehow go from the whole topic being about a hand washing ritual and unclan animals not even being in the discussion to unclean animals are now food?




The first thing you will notice is the words, "In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean," are completely absent. Before moving on, I want to ask, why did someone feel the need to forge words into the text that are not there. Is it ok to just add words wherever I want? Of course not.

19 Because it does not enter into his heart but his stomach, and then into the toilet (856) as all food is cleansed out (2511)?

19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

20 Then He said: That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man;

21 For from within--out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, lust, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, and foolishness--

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

No this is not about pork, it is about the pharisee making a show they are holy with their appearances, but Messiah is saying evil is that which should be guarded against.

This exact same account is also detailed in Mattithyah 15, and this is also shown there:

Mattithyah 15:2-3, "Why do Your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat. But He answered, and said to them: And why do you transgress the Laws of Yahweh by your traditions?"

Mattithyah 15:17, "Do you not yet understand that whatever enters in at the mouth goes into the stomach, and then is cast out in elimination?"

But is we keep readin we see the meaning of the PARABLE:

Mark 7:17, " But when He had left the people and entered the house, His disciples asked Him about the parable."

Mattithyah 15:15, "But Kepha spoke, and said to Him; Explain this parable to us."

Mattithyah 15:20, "These are the things which defile a man--but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man."

So in Mattithyah the parable is fully explained, yet in Mark it is not, is it possibe that is why those false words were added to Mark 7:19? If they were added to Mattithyah 15, it would have been a contradiction, but Mark having not being fully explained, it left the door open?
