Acts 15:28-29 and the blood doctrine — is abstaining from blood still binding?
The Jerusalem council (Acts 15:28-29) ruled that Christians must "abstain from blood." This decision included the holy spirit and the apostles — not merely a human tradition. The command has roots in Noah (Genesis 9:4) and the Mosaic Law (Leviticus 17:14). Proverbs 4:18 explains how understanding grows: "the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light." Is the command to abstain from blood still binding today? How does the progressive understanding principle apply to specific applications of this teaching? nwtprogress.com
