This is the most hypocritical thing I have read in a long time. When a Catholic tells you "New Covenant, New Rules" about the Eucharist prots babble on that the law about not consuming blood predates covenants... yada yada yada....

But when it suits the prot purpose "God’s dealings with man changed under the different covenant".

is a valid response.

No SALE! like I told your compatriot, try to pick a story and stick with it. If the prots can't be right the least they could do is be consistent.

>>But when it suits the prot purpose "God’s dealings with man changed under the different covenant".<<

Ooooooo!! Nice slight of tongue there dude! The contention was, when did the covenant change". The New Covenant did NOT take affect until AFTER the death and resurrection of Christ. NOT at the last supper.

The prohibition against eating blood was given before the law, before the old covenant was given, and was reiterated at the Council at Jerusalem as recorded in the book of Acts.

It is still a valid prohibition.
