The Old Testament, including Leviticus 17, mentions that dead
things should not be eaten. Here in Acts 15, it says strangled things
must not be eaten. This is also for the sake of blood, because when
strangled things are cooked whole, the blood is not separated from
the flesh. By not eating blood, we maintain that in none other is there
salvation but in that of the Lord Jesus Christ.
