Isaiah 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Notice this says Your feasts as opposed to My Feasts... There is a clue there. ; )

“...Bring no more vain oblations;...etc.”

The key word here is VAIN - the new oblations are not VAIN because all things are new in Christ. Isaiah does not say bring no more oblations - he says bring no more VAIN ones. Without Christ they remain vain, when done in Christ and following HIS example these things are no longer vain (i.e., without merit). Do you get it? This is about understanding what the bible is truly saying, not extra biblical.
