The Apostle Paul and other Apostles didn’t do away with the Lord’s feasts. To the contrary, they knew the importance of these days and continued to observe them, even after Jesus was resurrected. Paul said, “...I must by all means keep this feast...” (Acts 18:21) and it is also written, “And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread...” (Acts 20: 6). Obviously Paul understood what a lot of people don’t understand today, and that is The Feast of Unleavened Bread is to be observed “by an ordinance forever” (Exodus 12:17). This observance is so important to God; he issued it with the death penalty if ignored. “...for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel” (Exodus 12:15).

Many people who choose to ignore this feast should reexamine their teaching. Unfortunately, the majority of people (many are called but few are chosen) have not learned that there is only one true way to worship God. We leave you with the same warning Jesus gave to his Apostles, “...Take heed and beware of the leaven (doctrine) of the Pharisees and Sadducees” (Matthew 16:6, 12). Observing this great feast is a sign that you are worshipping the true God correctly. Praise God! Remember Jesus says in Hebrews 13: 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Ironic that you quote the Passage that condemns your false teaching.
This very passage teaches to reject the false teachers that would try to tell them that they should observe Jewish feasts in Jerusalem or partake of the brazen altar or other Jewish cultic practices to add to what Jesus had already done for them.
Their leaders who Preached salvation by Jesus was to be remembered and that that message had not changed.
7Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

10We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
11For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
If someone teaches that people must observe these Jewish ordinances in the Jewish way to be saved they have no right to the true altar which is Jesus Christ.

So you saying Paul kept these Jewish feast after the death of Jesus and he is altering Christ. That's what you saying, because Paul and other Apostles didn’t do away with the Lord’s feasts. To the contrary, they knew the importance of these days and continued to observe them, even after Jesus was resurrected. Paul said, “...I must by all means keep this feast...” (Acts 18:21) and it is also written, “And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread...” (Acts 20: 6). Obviously Paul understood what a lot of people don’t understand today, and that is The Feast of Unleavened Bread is to be observed “by an ordinance forever” (Exodus 12:17). This observance is so important to God; he issued it with the death penalty if ignored. “...for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel” (Exodus 12:15).
After we come under the blood of Jesus, by baptism, we must be committed to walking with him in truth (unleavened bread), leaving behind all falsehood (leavening). Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (I Corinthians 5:7,8).

1 Cor 5 is not telling you to observe the Jewish Passover in accordance with OT ritual.
Paul did not think he was not going to be saved if he did not keep that feast. If you think that then you better get to Jerusalem. You better do it like he did.
Paul had a lot to say about not telling Gentiles to observe Jewish customs he specifically mentions, circumcision, feasts, sabbaths (which were most feasts) holy days, and such things. Why would you take the exact opposite approach and try and tell people that gentiles need to keep Jewish feasts?
How is it that you can't comprehend that Paul who was a Jew chose to observe Jewish customs but not for salvation, and yet he did not expect Gentiles to do so? How is it that you would think that Paul who said so much about not being saved by observing Jewish customs would then teach that one must observe Jewish customs to be saved?
Are you just trolling? Sometimes I can't tell. We get some people saying things that they know are wrong just to start an argument for entertainment purposes. No one can read the letters of Paul and think he taught that one must keep a Jewish feast in Jerusalem to be saved.

Paul says in Colossians 2: 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. The holydays High Sabbaths days were kept long after the death of Jesus and still to this day. These are the Lord's days not the Jews, or Jewish people. In the scriptures it's written in Numbers 15:16 One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you. Paul said in Ephesians 2: 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 - And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Paul talking to the Gentiles here. You don't seem to read the book, or have clear understanding what you reading. You have read from Genesis to revelation and pray for understanding.
Maybe both broken and given are added.
Here is the CSB
1 Cor 11:24 and when he had given thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
The Old Latin and Syriac traditions, followed by the MajT, add κλώμενον (“broken”); the Vulgate, Coptic, and Ethiopic versions add “given” from Luke 22:19. It is missing in P46 * A B C* 6 33 1739* Origen Cyprian.
The diversity of traditions in itself indicates that the words are not original. (Metzger, 496)
Fee, Gordon D.. The First Epistle to the Corinthians, Revised Edition (The New International Commentary on the New Testament) (p. 928). Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
And yet no one who says His body was broken for us ever meant that his bones were broken but only that his body was mistreated, after all it does say that by His Stripes we are healed and how he was bruised for our iniquities and several other verses that we use to explain our meaning when we quote the KJV "broken for you".
I won't be correcting anyone over this but when I give the communion I will probably stop using the KJV and just mention the other verses about bruising, and stripes and chastisement. They make a much better point and arrest the attention of the hearers even more than the word "broken" does.
Thanks for pointing this out. I learned something from you.
