And it was still a sin for Jesus and the apostles to eat blood.

At one time, it was a sin (or at least discouraged) to eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols, per Acts 15. But, Paul (I Cor 8) saya that the eating was not a sin because the idols represented no god; there there was nothing wrong in eating the meat. So something happened between Acts 15 and when Paul wrote. Right? Acts 15 says to abstain; Paul says that per se it is a non issue.
