As long as Israel was walking in obedience to YHWH, their sacrifices and offerings were a pleasing aroma to Him. They covered over their sins enough to allow them to come before their holy Elohim. We now have a far more efficacious sacrifice in Yeshua who, through his shed blood, allows us entrance into the holy of holies in the heavenly sanctuary. Yeshua ministers in that sanctuary daily and it is his job to offer the blood necessary for people who sin. Israel in the flesh needed to bring an animal to the priest if they sinned. We have an ongoing sacrifice in Yeshua and need not bring them anymore, but we must still keep the days holy as He commanded. We also now offer the sacrifices of praise, prayer, helping others, and other spiritual sacrifices. This can be done on any day. One need not abolish a holy day in order to offer spiritual sacrifices. The apostles certainly did not abolish Shavuot because sacrifices were fulfilled in Yeshua. In fact, they continued to keep Shavuot and other feasts apart from the Temple. Paul kept unleavened bread outside of Jerusalem. The Temple was not necessary to keep the Feasts or Sabbath. He also told us to "keep the feast" (of unleavened bread) with spiritual unleavened bread (1 Corinthians 5:8) even though sacrifices were fulfilled.When you read of the Feasts in Leviticus it says that sacrifices must be made of lambs, of kids and of flour.
So you are saying we should keep the feasts, but not the way God said they should be kept?
