   Friend james steps right into it:   
   >If you don't wish to follow God's word the Holy Bible (2 Tim 3:16),   
   >that is up to you. Here us His command:   
   >   
   >Acts 15:20  "but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted   
   >by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from   
   >blood.   
      
   Within the ntire section of the council in Acts do explain what it means.   
   Do use the 1st century jewish broader OT understanding of kosher foods to   
   do so as it compares to pagan temple practices.  Why among the some 500 OT   
   laws did they mention only the above practice? .   
      
   You can not point to jw vatican info on this because they are ignorant of   
   such 1st century cultural/social info.   
      
   This should be easy for you friend james as it has been presented you   
   multiple times before.
