That's very Christianly humble of you sir, to think you know better than God what pleases Him. We should be celebrating them. He set those holy days for a reason, and we humans twisted the words of Paul to put a torch to both them and many of His other commandments. Jesus, His only Son and "avatar" on Earth, told us not a jot, nor a tittle would be removed from the Law, until heaven and earth pass. He told us to do His Father's commandments. And yet you say you know better than God and Jesus what they wish for us to do, what is "superior".
Easter and Christmas are both pagan-derived holidays. And to top it all off, God abhors asherim — trees set up as idols. Jesus wasn't even born in December, he was born during one of the Jewish feasts, likely Tabernacles. I don't see how they're superior at all.
The Book of Hebrews was all about getting "Jewish" believers in Jesus away from their dead religion of Judaism, and getting them to the place where they had a new, vibrant and real life outside of mindless tradition.
God promised to cut away the dead wood - and his parable of the tenants illustrate that perfectly.
Where does Jesus himself, your Messiah and mine, ever say the law is dead? I could show you multiple verses where he says the exact opposite. The verses people try to use are Him simplifying the concept of the law, or making it personal in a powerful way.
The book of Hebrews is Paul, not Jesus. His letters are essentially correspondence between churches, and he talks an awful lot about himself to be honest. You have to make a choice. Either follow Paul's concept of Jesus, a man he never actually heard preach during His Earthly ministry, or Jesus, Son of God and the Word and Law and Prophecy made flesh. You are following a singular person's imperfect and often confusing musings twisted into falsehoods and enshrined into tradition, friend.
Yes it is. Christians do not celebrate Jewish holidays and feasts, such as Passover, Purim, Succoth, Hannukah, or Rosh Hashanah.
The old has passed away - replaced by the new, and the superior.
