Leaning towards moral law is the fact that the sanctity of blood precedes the Mosiac ceremonial dietary laws, as immediately after the flood, while God sanctioned the eating of all meat  (Gen 9:3; cf. 1:29), eating it with the blood not drained was strictly forbidden. This was later abundantly confirmed in Leviticus. (Lv. 3:17; 7:26; 17:10-14; 19:26) As the purpose of the law is to save life and not destroy them (cf. Mk. 3:4), such a restriction would not forbid the ingestion of pure blood is such dire circumstances. However, it is a matter of controversy whether blood (as in mainly blood or blood products) is considered a food that would place it in the area of liberty for Christians, (1Tim. 4:3-5) or whether it is forbidden due to it's inherent sanctity, perhaps with Acts 15:20 being upheld as part of the Jewish Halakha,<ref>http://hsf.bgu.ac.il/cjt/files/electures/gloss.htm#Halakhah</ref> in addition to causing a possible offense to others.(1Cor. 8,10)<ref>The Chemistry Of The Blood, M.R.

Applying this sanctity of blood as relates to Lv. 18:19, many Christians hold that Heb. 13:4 sanctifies all benevolent sexual intercourse between man and wife (male and female), or as affirming their sexual relations in contrast to those which forbid sex in marriage (1Tim. 3:5)<ref>Wesley</ref>( Others may disagree, perhaps seeing Lev. 18:19 as still applicable out of regard for the sanctity of blood and or the procreative process.<ref>John Gill, Ezek. 22:10; Acts 15:20</ref>
