Acts 15:29

That you abstain from anything offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Farewell.

All Commentaries on Acts 15:29 Go To Acts 15

But this prohibition was but temporary, and has long since ceased to oblige; more especially in the western churches.
