Since, according to you, god is unchanging and Jesus was just clarifying, why didn't Abraham or Moses tell us this in the first place? Why did they lead jews to believe that certain foods would make one unrighteous?
It would be the eating of those foods would be sinful, and sin leads one away from God, I know that might seem nit picking but, it is they way it is.
Why God gave the food laws to the Israelites I do not know, could be God knows something about those foods we do not. These foods were not of limits to them in Egypt and I would bet that the Egyptians had lots of pork. It's also not that God changes, He continues to reveal His plans through Christ.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
