“YHvH gave His Feast Days to all of mankind not just the
Jews.

Scripture reference that says this please... Leviticus 24 says...

” 1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and
say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts ...” In fact
God addresses “the Israelites” throughout the whole chapter -
not all mankind, so I am thinking you must be referring to
another passage that extends the feasts to all mankind. I
just don’t know what passage you are referring to. Please
point me to such a passage.

“...there is also a prophetic metaphor contained when He
re-celebrated on His first coming.

Here, we agree.

“Easter has no connection whatever to Yah’shua; it is a
Pagan Fable.”

Not exactly (see end of post) Easter is a day of remembering
Christ’s Resurrection. I celebrate THAT - not any pagan
celebration.

“The creation of Easter by Constantine is an affront to
the creator of the universe and the sacrifice offered for
all of mankind for the redemption of sin.”

Sorry, here I don’t find God upset that the Church remembers
to celebrate the Resurrection on Easter. Constantine did not
“create Easter”. He unified it’s celebration to end a faction.

“The Apostles who were all Jews, continued to celebrate YHvH’s commanded Feast Days.”

At first, because as you note, they were of Jewish lineage
and upbringing. They did not command this of the Church
of Christ.

“There is nothing in the Holy Word of G-d stopping the celebration of YHvH’s commanded Feasts.”

No, and Jews (not those who have become Christians) should
be doing what they were commanded.

“Looking carefully and prayerfully at the Gospels, one will see that Yah’shua celebrated Shabbat.”

Of course, He was Jewish and fulfilled all righteousness. He
could do no other.

“The church or Ekklesia are all those who are called out by YHvH as His assembled people.”

The Church is the Body of Christ. This is different than
the nation of Israel. Christians have no problem using
the word Church.

“Man was never given permission by YHvH to replace His
commanded Feast Days and replace them with pagan feast
days commanded by the Evil One.”

I think we already covered Jews being obedient to what they
were commanded, which is different than what the Body
of Christ was commanded in the Epistles.

“YHvH commanded His Feast Days for all mankind both to His
chosen people and with Paul to the Gentiles who were to be
grafted in to His assembled people as well.

Scripture reference for the second part of your claim please... I know of no writing of Paul that commands the
celebration of Jewish Feast Days.

As extra historic material (for anyone lurking here) about
the background of the celebration of Easter...

“Easter was originally observed on the day following the end of the Passover fast (14 Nisan), regardless of the day of the week on which it fell. In the mid-second century, however, some Gentile Christians began to celebrate it on the Sunday after 14 Nisan, with the preceding Friday observed as the day of Christ’s crucifixion, regardless of the date on which it fell. The resulting controversy over the correct time for observing the Easter festival reached a head in a.d. 197, when Victor of Rome excommunicated those Christians who insisted on celebrating Easter on 14 Nisan. The dispute continued until the early fourth century, when the Quarto-decimans (from Latin for ‘14’) were required by Emperor Constantine to conform to the empire-wide practice of observing Easter on the Sunday following 14 Nisan, rather than on that date itself.”
