Summoning the crowd again, He told them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand; nothing that goes into a person from outside can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defiles him. (if anyone has ears to hear He should listen!) Mark 7:14-16
I know a lot of people who would debate this. There is so much 'argy bargy' about eating right that it becomes quite confusing.
Yet Jesus, here, is making a point. The stuff that makes us unclean is the thoughts turned into words and spewed forth from our mouths.
Are we consumed with how we feel and speak constantly how 'others' mess with our heads or upset our days?
Stuff will always happen but it is how we handle that stuff thet determines who we become.
