um... pork is different. Jesus specifically appeared to the apostle Paul on the road to Damascus to tell him all foods were now clean.

Well, all righty then. What about all the other stuff in the law we modern-day Christians don’t do?

I think you need to review the book of Acts.

That’s not quite accurate. Jesus said do not call unclean what I have called clean. Paul was reluctant to minister to the gentiles because the Jews considered them “unclean”.

Jesus used the message of eating something declared by Jewish law or tradition to hold less value than whatever HE declared to be clean.

Basically Jesus was saying in effect don’t treat the gentiles as unclean and to be avoided if I tell you to go minister to them.

Jesus was only using the example of the unclean food to state that whatever he says is the thing to be obeyed, not tradition.

I don’t believe that Jesus was declaring those items to be clean in general but whatever He specifically cleaned or sanctified is now clean despite it’s earlier condition.
