Quick question,

If the disciples ate the body and blood of Christ at the last supper. How did that not contradict the current Old testament law that they could not eat blood at least until after Christ’s institution of the new covenant?

Thanks for your time :),

The law never said anything about eating the body and blood of God. In fact, the very reason given for NOT eating blood (“the life is in the blood”) is eactly the reason TO eat the blood of God.

Hi Ryan welcome.
When did Christ institute this part of the new covenant? Before His death at the last supper so no there is no breaking of the old law.
