Uri,
So your beef is that the Church celebrates Easter, when
Christ rose from the dead? That they worship on Sundays,
Lord’s Day of Resurrection?
And your secondary beef is that the Church doesn’t celebrate
the days of feasting given to the nation of Israel?
The Feast Days were not given to the Church to celebrate.
They are not commanded to be celebrated by the Church
in the Epistles to the Churches - nor is the Sabbath commanded
to be celebrated. Those days were commanded to the nation
of Israel, which is distinct from the Church. Neither is the
Passover.
Nor are there Jews and Gentiles in Christ. The body of
Christ, the Church, is composed of all who trust in
Christ for salvation - not recognizing Jews or Gentiles.
Those who seek to put up artificial distinctions and
divide the Body of Christ are mistaken.
