Wrong again! Peter was called 'pebble' by Jesus.

Try reading the 'plain words of scripture' in the Greek. You might avoid a few of these simple errors.

To Peter, Jesus gave the task of opening The Grace of God in Christ for the Jews First, then the Gentiles. But the Primacy of Peter was not even evidenced at the first great council of the Ekklesia, as shown to us in Acts, where the admonition against blood was repeated. Sad that the Catholic religion has ignored that from the First great declaration from the Ekklesia Council.

Now, to be fair, the Lord is known to give commands and then specify exceptions to those commands. The most obvious being “Thou shall not kill” and then exceptions for self-defense (Luke 22) and of course the whole removing the Cannanites from the Promised Land.

So I think that a case could be made against consuming blood with the specific exception of the blood of Christ, because Jesus commanded to take and drink it.

(Certainly doesn’t change the fact that the RCC is in blatant and irreconcilable contradiction to huge swaths of Scripture, but I think in this case it’s not quite the same thing.)
