LETS REFRESH WHY THIS QUESTION IS BEING ASKED
Many have pointed out in many threads that Paul, Jesus, and all the apostles still kept the Sabbath after the death of Jesus and they were correct if you are to view the scriptures in context and dont try to twist anything. But at the same time Paul and all the apostles and Gentile New Testament Christians also kept Gods Feast days as well too. So since the Sabbathg is still to be observed, so are the Holy days as they hold equal importance as the Sabbaths in Lev 23
1 Corinthians 11:1
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.
-Paul say we are to imitate him like he did Christ, so lets see what Paul did. Here are examples of 5 of the 7 feasts being kept after the death of Jesus

Day of Pentecost
[FONT="]Acts 2:1[/FONT]
[FONT="]2 When the
Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord[
a] in one place.

Acts 20:16
16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the
Day of Pentecost.
-Paul was hurry to observe this feast and Jesus has been dead for years now but he still observing it.
1 Corinthians 16:8
8 But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.
-Paul is keeping this feast in Ephesus.
Passover and Unleavened Bread
1 Corinthians 5:7-8
7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.[
a] 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened
bread of sincerity and truth.
-Paul here is telling the New Testament Christians to keep the Passover and Unleavened bread
1 Corinthians 11:23-25
23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the
same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke
it and said, Take, eat;[
a] this is My body which is broken[
b] for you; do this in remembrance of Me. 25 In the same manner
He also
took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink
it, in remembrance of Me.
-Paul is describing the New Testament Passover service, that Jesus established with His disciples on the night before His crucifixion. From the above passages we see that Paul commanded the Gentiles in the city of Corinth to keep Gods Holy Days. And they were all done without sacrifices, so that cant be used as an excuse either.
Acts 12:1-4
12 Now about that time Herod the king stretched out
his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was
during the
Days of Unleavened Bread. 4 So when he had arrested him, he put
him in prison, and delivered
him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after
Passover.
-Verse 3 shows that they were keeping the Passover and Unleavened bread
Feast of Taberncales
Acts 18:20-21
20 When they asked
him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, 21 but took leave of them, saying,
I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem;[
a] but I will return again to you, God willing. And he sailed from Ephesus.
The Day of Atonement
Acts 27:9-10
9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the
Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.
-Paul is referring to the Fast on the Day of Atonement. Luke wrote the book of Acts many years after Christs death and he referred to the Day of Atonement calling it the Fast
So since it has been pointed out that sin is transgression of the law and the law is the 1st 5 books of the bible, Lev 23 lays out the Sabbaths that God said are to be observed as they are HIS holy days, not the Jews.
So how can Christians be in sin for not keeping the Sabbath, yet SDA's are not in sin for not keeping Gods holy days which I just proved were clearly observed by the New Testament Church years after Jesus death and were never done away with?
Like saying my sin is not as bad as yours!!!
