We can drink blood, but we should stay away from mirrors and sunlight.

But don't vampires just sparkle in the sunlight? :)

Sure. The literally observance was allusion to the fulfillment in Christ. One does not preclude the other. I have Christ now. I can talk of His sacrifice. I don't have to go by a commandment that was meant to allude to that sacrifice.

This is where I have difficulty. Where in Scripture do you find support for your belief that a believer in Christ is freed from obeying the literal command of the Noahic covenant? Paul? Jesus? John? Hebrews?

So... You actually look to an "allusion".... rather than the fulfillment of said "allusion"?

Don't you think that is strange?

What "specifically" do you see as being inherently evil about eating flesh with blood in it? I personally love a good medium rare porterhouse steak. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

Although there may be some allegorical parts to the Noahic covenant, I do not see Scriptural support for the idea that Christ's sacrifice and resurrection fulfilled or completed the Noahic covenant, freeing mankind from it.

Just because you don't see it..... doesn't mean it's not there.....

Have you ever read the words..... Lo, I come. in the volume of the book is written of me?

What do you think that means?

I would think that means that the Old Testament pictures and tells of Christ's coming. That says nothing of disanulling any covenant or law. Different verse, maybe?
