Bible Question (short): Abstaining from things strangled, blood? |
Question (full): Reference to things strangled and blood from v20 below: Are these upheld today as being necessary things and if not, why? Acts 15:19,20: 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; Stand in His grace, WOS |
