Acts 15:22-23, 28-29 (ESV), 22 “Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church<\/strong>, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas … 23 with the following letter<\/strong>: ‘The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. … 28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us<\/strong> to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: 29 that you abstain from<\/strong> what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood<\/strong>, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well.’”<\/p>\n

Thus the apostles, the elders, and the church in Jerusalem with the guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote that Christian believers should not eat blood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This requirement refers back to the covenant God made with Noah<\/strong> after the flood. Genesis 9:1, 4, 9-10 (ESV), 1 “And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. … 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood<\/strong>. …Behold, I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you<\/strong>, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth.’ ”<\/p>\n

Christians are doubly instructed not to eat blood <\/strong>because they are part of Noah’s offspring under the Noahic covenant and were also directed to abstain by the apostles.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
