The prohibition against eating blood remains in force, even in New Testament times:

[Acts]
{15:28} For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you, other than these necessary things:
{15:29} that you abstain from things immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication. You will do well to keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.”
 
quasimodo said:
The reason for the prohibition on drinking blood: it was believed that the life of the animal was in the blood. If a person drank the blood of the animal (or person) they received it’s life, strength, etc. Christians recognize that life comes from God alone, not from the created things around us.

Once people no longer believed that they could get life from drinking blood the prohibition was no longer necessary.

Try explaining that to Iglesia ni Kristo (INC), JWs, or those who adheres in the Noahide Law.
