When I say the feasts, I refer to the 7 feasts of Leviticus 23:
Passover
Feast of unleavened beard
Feast of the first fruit
Pentecost
Feast of the trumpet
The Day of Atonement
Feast of the tabernacles
Here is a popular verse used erroneously to support of keeping the above 7 feasts:
"Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." 1 Corinthian 5:8
notice "the feast" is singular, not plural. The feast apostle Paul is teaching us to keep is the Lord's supper, not the above feasts which should have been plural.
Here is another popular verse used erroneously to support the keeping of the above 7 feasts:
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, TILL all be FULFILLED." Matthew 5:18
Notice, the verse does not teach that "one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law", but rather "one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.". The passover, feast of unleavened bread, the first fruit offering and the feast of the weeks all point to events that have been FULFILLED in 31 A.D. Therefore, they are done away with. For it is written: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross" Colossians 2:14
Therefore, DON'T keep the feasts, but KEEP the feast.
