This is correct. For example, Moses allowed divorce and remarriage, but our Lord regards it as sinful.

Because, as He said, it was not like that in the beginning...Moses allowed it because of our hard hearts...

Amen to that. Or a Lobster Roll. There is a place in town which makes astonishingly good Lobster Rolls and sells a tasty tropical beer to wash it down with. There’s also a Cajun place where I like to go with my congregants after church which has delicious gumbo and deep fried alligator.

Deep fried alligator - do you wash that down with Gatorade.....

Sorry, couldn't resist

Which He never did...

You're missing my point again. Gathering wheat on the Sabbath was breaking the Sabbath. But Jesus amended that, just as He amended what Moses wrote about divorce.

You said, "some say". Who are the some?

Because some authorities (some biblical scholars as well as different Rabbis throughout history) have differing numbers

No it wasn't. You are allowed to eat on Shabbat, but you can not harvest for sale, etc. Moses was the one that changed it...Yeshua kept to the original...

If there is no law why is satan enraged by those who keep His commandments. If the law was tossed out why would satan care?

Revelations 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

If we are not under the law why is this verse one of the last verses in the Bible right before the second coming of Jesus?

Revelations:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

Seems like there is a promise for those who do keep His commandments. Perhaps there is a lot of misunderstandings about Gods laws? Do you really want to understand the truth or live the lifestyle you are more comfortable with?

What’s your point? The dietary laws were given centuries after the flood.

Yet there were clean and unclean animals then...BEFORE the laws were given as you say

Could you name a couple of them who are Christians?

Are you not one in Christ? There are important lessons, laws and promises we learn from Moses.

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
3:29 The Galatians were deluded into thinking that they could become Abraham's seed by keeping the law. Paul shows otherwise. Christ is the seed of Abraham; the inheritance promised to Abraham was fulfilled in Christ. When sinners believe on Him, they become one with Him. Thus they become Abraham's seed and, in Christ, they inherit all of God's blessings.

Where was that written before Moses changed it?

Romans 14:5-6 with context added back is to eating and not eating (fasting) on days that men esteem over other days. Nothing to do with anything else.

As to the biblical dietary laws? Well we have seen what happened with this global pandemic with people eating unclean foods. I personally believe God gave us His health laws for a reason and we should believe and follow them as with all the Word of God.

Isaiah 66:17, They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the middle, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, said the LORD.

I believe that it is best to follow what God says as he made us and knows what is best for us.
That's fine if you just want to eat certain foods.

I think the main point of that passage in Romans is that those who eat everything shouldn't judge those who only eat certain things, and vice versa.

I still don’t see the relevance here. Jews are forbidden to eat meat offered to idols while Gentiles are not. So just because God commanded the Jews to observe the dietary laws does not mean that the Gentiles must observe those laws as well otherwise He wouldn’t have limited those laws to “the sons of Israel”.

So you believe there is no law and we are free to sin?

The CONTEXT was eating with unwashed hands...there is NO mention of allowing the consumption of non-kosher food...

Yes its strict context was answering the complaint about unwashed hands, but the answer:

Matthew 15:10-12
King James Version

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

Mark 7:18-20
King James Version

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;

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

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

What we eat does not defile us.
