The noachan laws did not exist as an
applicable code for non-Jews before the tannaic period, being first
mentioned in the Tosefta. The concept of an Noachan code did not exist in the
1st Century. Paul surely would of made reference to it as some sort of
covenant code to the gentiles if it did. The "and from blood' reference
from the Jerusalem conference is a direct reference from that part of the Sinai
(Jewish) Covenant that included both Jews and non-Jews. Deut 15:23 prohibited
the use of blood from the Jew and the "stranger" of the righteous
nation. And now that these Gentiles are assuming the blessings of that covenent
as "strangers" and not Israelites, they subscibe to the law of Moses as
Strangers" ,as non-Jews and not as Jews or by becoming Jews, thus affirming the
gospel message that the One God of Abraham is also the One God of the
nations.
