It was given before the Law, enforced by the Law, and reiterated again after Jesus died.

So why is St. Paul using the word "blood" in his preaching- when clearly knowing it was bad thing- and not use "ceremonial" wine instead for that reference...?
Why would St. Paul confuse his converts in this way?

And the many instances where Jesus says we must drink his Blood 0- was he then overruled after his death?
Can he be overruled?

And taking into account where St. Paul would have clearly referenced this Blood Covenant with ALL HIS CONVERTS in his travels...
Why bring this confusion into the Church then - as he clearly refers to Jesus' tradition and teaching that repeats the drinking of the Blood of Christ- and do this OFTEN....
as it is written in divine inerrant scripture?

You really are unable to see your own contradictions! Here is your One Question: did God tell the Israelites to not eat the blood?? And He repeated that several places in the first five books of Moses! Is the god of catholicism duplicitous? I their god unable to see the end from the beginning so he would not be duplicitous?

That's a darned good question!!
 
  2 Peter 3:16 niv
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

 Paul.   Isn't that the fella that doesn't seem to care too much for baptism?   
 
 
 
1 Corinthians 1:14-17
 
 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
 
1 Corinthians 1:14-17
