Forgive me for butting in.....but after reading Acts 15 as you suggested I still do not see any abolishment of God's Holy Days. God establised these Sabbaths and Feast Days forever(for all generations),Leviticus Chapter 23 and Jesus observed all of these Days and Sabbaths.

You are confusing the abolishment of the ritualistic civil code of Moses(Deuteronomy Chapter 27) with the establishment of God's Holy Days, a different thing altogether. The Levitical priesthood was also abolished and Jesus became our new High Priest....Hebrews Chapter 8....but still no abolishment of God's Sabbaths and Feast days.

By the way, this would have been an excellent time for Peter to tell everyone that the Sabbath was now abolished(Acts 15:21)....but he did not!

Your logic does not follow.

The feast days were something that were unique to the Jews and were not practiced by the Gentiles. The counsel at Jerusalem wrote their letter to the Gentiles to clear up confusion caused by saved Jews who were telling the Gentiles that they needed to observe the Law in order to be saved. If they were supposed to keep the feasts, then they would surely have told them in this letter.

Acts 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication; if you keep yourselves free from such things, you will do well. Farewell.

The Gentiles, who had never been in the practice of observing the Law, were given a list of 4 essential things to observe, guided by the Holy Spirit. There is no mention of feast or dietary custom. Would not this have been the opportune time to do this?

Also note the comment in Acts 15:21 is NOT in the letter.

Listen to what the Holy Spirit through Paul says in Galatians 3:3 - Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?
