What you seem not to understand is that in those verses you quoted they were talking about the meat from animals formerly restricted from the Jewish diet. Then there is the fact that your “opinion” that Protestants have a tendency to read but not to comprehend omits the fact that later in that same book, that is after the vision you referenced, Luke, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, still prohibited the eating of blood. Isn’t that interesting? It seems to me that “comprehension” would require that the Holy Spirit having inspired both passages would not have contradicted Himself.

Your “opinion” ignored the fact that you didn’t realize that it was the Holy Spirit who guided Luke to write the prohibition of eating blood even after Peter had that vision. Might I suggest that your “opinion” doesn’t count? Only the facts count and the fact is that you seem to not have “comprehended” what was written or maybe you didn’t even read far enough after your ah ha moment? Perhaps it is you who needs to read and attempt to comprehend better. Tell me again how long you have been reading the Bible with guidance from the Holy Spirit. Guidance from the RCC doesn’t count.

"Might I suggest that your “opinion” doesn’t count?"

Then might I suggest that your "experience" in #55 doesn't count either?
