Why Jesus declared all foods clean in Mark 7:18–19
Jesus declared all foods clean by explaining that physical food cannot spiritually defile a person since it does not reach the heart, shifting focus from external rituals to internal righteousness.
Matthew 5:27–30: Is Lust a Sin?
Jesus does not settle for outward restraint. He locates adultery in the desiring gaze itself, which means lust is sin before God, and he presses for radical action against whatever feeds it.
