>>Since the Church in Acts 15 is the same Church offering the Eucharist, clearly, the prohibition on eating blood was understood to refer to things other that the Eucharist.<<

Interesting how the apostles didn't make that distinction but you do.

apostles didn't make that distinction

St. Paul, for example, wrote of the blood in the Eucharist without hesitation, and he was present at the Jerusalem council also:

Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. (1 Cor. 11:27)
