Verse 20, Being told to abstain from blood can have multiple meanings. Perhaps the main message is to not sacrifice animals for the remission of sin. Animals can not save you nor represent your sin to God. Abstain from the pollution of blood could mean do not pass on blood bourn disease. Also and perhaps importantly, abstain from blood could mean that it is not one bloodline or race of people that are favored by God because through Jesus ALL bloodlines are accepted to be saved. Abstain from blood can also mean that God does not want war over religion. God does not appoint men to wrath but instead commands that they love one another.
