1 Corinthians 8:8 and Romans 14:14: food does not define one's standing before God; nothing is inherently unclean for the Christian.
Mike shifts from the hypothetical framework to his actual position: there is no food-law prohibition on blood for Christians.
1 Corinthians 8:8: 'Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.' Romans 14:14: 'I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.' Mike connects these to his broader argument that Christian freedom abolishes the food-purity concerns underlying the JW blood ban.
