Q1: Did the apostles instruct gentiles not to meat with blood in it at the council?
Q2: Is this from the law or not?
Q3: Does this violate what Paul says in Galstians, yes or no?
Q4: If so, why? If not, why not?
Acts 15:24-29
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
What is it in Galatians that you think is in violation? Is it this one;
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
The Holy Spirit gave no greater burden than those necessary things. So by following those necessary things given by the Holy Spirit, and ONLY those necessary things, a person wouldn't be in violation, and Paul either, by quoting Galatians 3:10
I think Galatians 3:10 is meant ESPECIALLY for the Pharisees who would try to pick and choose which laws they liked and which they don't.
So that when they did that they would be under the curse of following all of it.
But I don't think a Christian would be under the curse of the law for not eating meat offered to idols, or blood or abstaining from fornication. I think these 3 things are reasonable. And even if I didn't the Holy Spirit thinks they are reasonable, therefore, they are reasonable.
And conversely, the Holy Spirit didn't give any Greater Burden than those necessary things. So to add to those necessary things out of the law would then put you in the area of the curse.
