Good evening Blain!
All of those things mentioned, feast days, holy days, Sabbaths and any personal works, only becomes problem when they are viewed as a requirement for salvation along side the shed blood of Christ. When a person does this, they are basically saying that Christ's sacrifice was insufficient. Otherwise, since Christ alone (without our works) purchased mankind for God with his own blood, then we should be looking to him as the One who alone provided salvation for us completely, fully. Those who believe in him are "credited" with righteousness. It is a free gift and cannot be earned, which is what people are doing, whether they realize it or not, when they bring in their own efforts as requirements along side Christ's sacrifice.
"Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness." (NIV)
"When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners." (NLT)
