Are you talking about these feast? :-)
Amos 5:21-24 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
It’s not the works of the law God loves,
Ro 9:32 33 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
G-Nite all, don’t loose any sleep over this Doug. Lol

That was the problem. The children of Israel looked upon feast days as their own. Its required that we look upon feast days as belonging to Him.
Leviticus 23 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
The problem with the people in Amos is that they had corrupted themselves by idolatry. Their feasts were corrupt. Any kind of feast in that context is going to be condemned. I'm sure there are feats days even today that God hates.

I don't consider celebrating God's Holy Days a work. It's a pleasure and a blessing. Neither did Paul...as he also kept them:
1Co 5:8 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.
