How do you explain these verses?

Matthew 15:10-11
Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand. What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' "

Romans 14:20
"All food is clean"

Acts 11:4-10
4Peter began and explained everything to them precisely as it had happened: 5"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. 6I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds of the air. 7Then I heard a voice telling me, 'Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.'

8"I replied, 'Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

9"The voice spoke from heaven a second time, 'Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.' 10This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.
 
1Co 10:27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
Take this new testament scripture in to consideration ...note the key words "believe not" "conscience sake"
This says it all if you still do not understand then you have been kept in darkness.
You have twisted scripture or some one has twisted it for you.
Jesus was talking about eating with dirty hands. peters dream was about the gentiles no longer being unclean. Romans14:20 is talking about meat not unclean meat
 
You have to believe that Christ was the Messiah to understand and follow this. that is why Jews and the like still follow the ot laws. For Christians who believe that Christ is the Messiah, we know that we are no longer bound by the ot laws. Yes, we are to follow the 10 commandments and such, but we have a new covenant made and the death of Christ who died for our sins covers us when we fail.
If you follow the ot laws for salvation,,,then you are bound to hold all of them and this, no man can do........Christ provided a way for us to live......He paid our death sentence....
