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?

Acts 15 makes no distinction.  Blood is simply mentioned as one item in a list of items to be avoided.  There is no clue given whether this is animal blood or human.  If this were a statute and I had a client asking how to stay on the safe side of it, I would advise him/her to avoid consuming both.  

Peace,

Show me the differentiation made in Acts 15.

And Jesus was that Lamb..

Are you saying that they had to abstain from the blood of animals..but human blood was ok?
