>>In short, the REASON for the ancient prohibition no longer existed after Jesus sacrificed himself<<

Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

That was written "after Jesus sacrificed himself".

>>He tells us to drink his blood<<

His blood was shed on the ground as was commanded for ALL sacrifices.

You can shout and scream about the Old Covenant and Old Sacrifices all you want but it doesn't change the fact that the Holy Spirit through the apostles said NOT to eat the blood. Christ said His words were spirit rather then physical and said the flesh profits nothing. We were told that some would not understand the spiritual aspect.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Christ said "my words are spirit".

The council of Jerusalem instructed Christians to abstain from the flesh and blood of ANIMALS that had been sacrificed.

My post was about the blood of JESUS.

Can’t you tell the difference between JESUS and an ANIMAL?
