So, do you eat the Passover? Do you eat pork? Do you offer sacrifices at the Temple?

The MORAL law is unchangeable. The Jewish RITUAL law could and did change.

The prohibition on drinking the blood of the victim existed for a certain reason—that the victim’s life belonged to God. That reason ceased to exist when the victim was no longer an animal, but Jesus himself. The life of Jesus belongs to US. He gave it to us.

He TELLS us that he has given us his life precisely by commanding that we drink his blood.

And your evidence from scripture after the statement of the apostles in Acts 15 is what??

The prohibition against drinking blood PREDATES the Law and was reiterated AFTER Jesus died, rose again, and the Holy Spirit empowered the church on the day of Pentecost.

Doesn’t make a bit of difference whether one considers it part of the ritual law that was no longer needed or not.
