Christian faith: In saying this, Jesus declared that all foods are fit to be eaten. Mark 7:19

The Gospel of Mark recounts one of the moments when Jesus differentiated his spiritual doctrine, the doctrine of the Kingdom of God, from the teachings of the Pentateuch and the law of Moses in general by teaching about what is pure and impure.
Jesus preached in Galilee and the Gospel of Mark relates that Herod had ordered the beheading of John the Baptist at the request of Herodias' daughter, and so Jesus was left without an important supporter, and in this way, the Pharisees and Sadducees knew that Jesus was the next victim, but they needed a reason to condemn him to death, and for that they needed to accuse him of heresy, and so they constantly seek to find him in error.
Jesus, the Gospel of Mark tells us, while performing miracles in Gennesaret, was questioned by some Pharisees because his disciples ate without washing their hands, and so they inquired Jesus to accuse him of being a false prophet: "Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?" Mark 7:5.
So Jesus answered them: "Nothing that goes into you from the outside can really make you unclean, because it does not go into your heart but into your stomach and then goes on out of the body" (In saying this, Jesus declared that all foods are fit to be eaten) Mark 7:18-19.
With this response, Lord Jesus took up the teachings of some prophets, because God does not judge masks and appearances but intentions, and everything that comes from the heart. In the spiritual doctrine of Jesus, there are only two paths, righteousness ("Whatever you want people to do for you, so do for them" Matthew 7:12) and sin, and men have to choose; only sin makes men impure in a spiritual sense; this is what Jesus wisely taught.
This confrontation about what is pure and impure had great relevance in the early Church, until the first council in Jerusalem ruled that the prescriptions on this subject in the Pentateuch were not obligatory in the Christian faith.
