There is a reason why the Law in Lev. 17 said the soul of every sort of creature was in the blood and treated the blood as the life or soul just as our language does in speaking of taking a life as “shedding blood”.

That the blood was/is viewed by God as something special, as meaning life is Paul’s words in Hebrews 9:14 and chapter 10 about Christ’s shed blood.

God’s view has not changed about the blood of animals and humans since He guided the decision at Jerusalem.

You know that how, exactly? We just saw that in Acts 15 the Church, guided by God, abolished the kashrut. What makes you think the same Church cannot abolish also prohibition on eating blood?
