Give me proof for why you literally keep the Feast Days.

I don't believe the seventh day Sabbath is part of the shadows because the shadows were instituted after the fall because of sin and the seventh day of creation was before sin.

We also know how God makes a distinction between the seventh day Sabbath and all the other Feast Days.

Leviticus 23:1-4 The Lord said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as official days for holy assembly. “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of complete rest, an official day for holy assembly. It is the Lord’s Sabbath day, and it must be observed wherever you live. “In addition to the Sabbath, these are the Lord’s appointed festivals, the official days for holy assembly that are to be celebrated at their proper times each year.

We know the Feast Days paint a picture for us of how God was going to deal with sin through His son Jesus. Since Jesus came and finished the work of a atonement there is no need to literally keep the Feast Days unless you want to. This is why Colossians tells us not to judge in regard to these shadows and symbols because Jesus is the fulfillment of them.

Colossians 2:16-17 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.

So, with this in mind, can you give me NT proof of why you literally keep the Feast Days?

I don't keep them, but why are you asking for proof?
Is your intent to judge them for it?
I can see no good in this.

I'm a Sabbath keeper but there are far and few of them out there so it's hard to find fellowship. Just about all the Sabbath keeping church in my area also keep the Feast Days so I want to know how they use the NT to support literally keeping the Feast Days. It has nothing to do with judging them, I just want to see the NT verses that are used to support it. I know there are a few but I'm not sure they should be used to command observance.

One Law for all people whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, of Israel or an outsider.

Exodus 12:49 "One law shall be for the native-born and for the foreigner who dwells among you."

Leviticus 24:22 "You shall have the same law for the stranger and for one from your own country; for I am the Lord your God.’”

Even observing the Feast of Unleavened Bread was to be followed by Israel and the outsiders.

Exodus 12:19 “For seven days do not let any yeast be found in your homes. Anyone who eats anything that has yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel. That applies to outsiders and Israelites alike.

You have anapauō and reject sabbaton. I honor sabbaton and have anapauō. There is a difference.

Can one love God without keeping His commandments?

Anyway, back to the original thread. I already know why everyone else rejects the Feast Days and the Sabbath and celebrates Christmas and Easter. My question is how do those who keep them justify their practices?

This thread is really only for those who keep the Feast Days.

There has been a lot of twisting and tweaking of Scriptures over the years to get the people of God to where they are today with Sunday observance, Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, Halloween, Trinity God and so on. I would like to know how I'm missing the Feast Days if they are to be kept. There could be some tweaking of Scripture in that area too that I'm missing. I don't believe God would just stop the Feast Days when not all of them have been fulfilled yet. So for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear enlighten me so that I might see too.
