Leviticus 3:17 This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.

Again, what you offered is OUR sacrifice to the Lord and the blood of animals is not to be eaten for it is the blood which gives life to the animal and ingesting it is akin to taking the life of that animal within you.

Jesus, the Lamb of God, is God’s sacrifice FOR us and His blood is life giving. When we partake of the cup, as He told us to do we are taking into us His life, as He planned for us to do.

There is no comparison between Jesus and a goat or a sheep or a lamb and the laws God laid down for their sacrifice have nothing to do with the the perfect sacrifice, Jesus.

Merely throwing out a verse here or there does not do justice to what the Word of God reveals to us. It is not that it limits us, but it limits God.

There is no getting around what Jesus said and did. That He even said that we should eat His flesh and drink His blood was a sin when taken in the context of the verses you cite.

But, say it He did. God did not contradict Himself nor did He go against His own law as revealed to us. What He has done is replaced our imperfect sacrifice with HIMSELF, the perfect and eternal sacrifice poured out for our eternal life.
