Many of the changes brought about by Jesus are evident in the bible, primarily in his attempts to break down the corruption that was occurring in organised religion. Many of the sweeping changes in Christianity can be directly attributed to him.

Many of the changes brought about by Jesus are evident in the Bible, primarily in his attempts to break down the corruption that was occurring in organised [[religion]]. Many of the sweeping changes in [[Christianity]] can be directly attributed to Him.

One example is the break down of the old laws regarding food in Leviticus 11, these laws limited the foodstuffs and animals that could be eaten by Christians, however when Jesus was questioned by the Pharisees after eating food before washing his hands he states-

One example is the break down of the old laws regarding [[food]] in [[Leviticus]] 11.

These laws limited the foodstuffs and [[animal]]s that could be eaten by [[Jew]]s.

However when Jesus was questioned by the [[Pharisee]]s after eating food before washing his hands he states:

"There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man." Mark ch7 v15

{{Bible quote|Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'|book=Mark|chap=7|verses=15|version=NIV}}

Thus the new 'Jewish Sect' that was Christianity was allowed to eat any food whereas the original Jewish religion -who do not believe in the existence of Jesus- still to this day limit themselves to the foodstuffs laid down in Leviticus.

Many Christians take this as a reason why protesting against other religions or practices in todays world are wrong- hatred of those who do not follow the Christian faith is just as bad as hatred against those who do.

Evidence of this claim exists in Romans ch14 v10 "You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat."
