You're desperate to make it complicated.
It's not complicated.
Jesus' Crucifixion eliminated the need for all the Ceremonial/Sacrificial/Carnal Ordinances. Hebrews 9:10
None of those were written in stone. None of those were Moral Laws. All of the Commandments that Jesus spoke of, aside from the standard 10, were an off-shoot of the 10; they were elaborations on the 10.
Jesus obeyed the 10 Commandments of His Father. John 15:10
The Feasts should be kept by True Bible-believing Christians, but the time-keeping months have been changed so that it's not easy to know what the Biblical dates for them are today.
Guessing the Jews have a pretty good idea, I'm not a Jew. They would be kept in reverence and honor of God, not as a Salvific practice or necessity.
So what do you have to say about what paul said?
2 Corinthians 3:5-11
King James Version
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
a normal usual grammatic reading of this draws one conclusion- the laws written in stone are a ministry of death, were glorious, but were also done away with! what say you?
