But now, 2000 or so years later; it makes me wonder why; as it seems to be quite ignored these days.

Who's ignoring that chapter?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Jerusalem
The Council of Jerusalem or Apostolic Council was held in Jerusalem around 50 AD. It is unique among the ancient pre-ecumenical councils in that it is considered by Catholics and Orthodox to be a prototype and forerunner of the later ecumenical councils and a key part of Christian ethics.
The council decided that Gentile converts to Christianity were not obligated to keep most of the Law of Moses, including the rules concerning circumcision of males. The Council did, however, retain the prohibitions on eating blood, meat containing blood, and meat of animals not properly slain, and on fornication and idolatry, sometimes referred to as the Apostolic Decree or Jerusalem Quadrilateral.

================================

There have been councils all through the 2000 year history of the Church. But, you would know that if you were a Catholic.

Who's ignoring that chapter?

The CATHOLIC CHURCH. And CATHOLICS who believe that they have to eat the body and blood of Jesus.

So why, then, does the church ignore the instruction of the HOLY SPIRIT as given at the Council at Jerusalem and teach the eating of blood, which HE forbade?
