Thank you for your very good post and points concerning this!! There were
a number of things in there that I had not considered.

I am not sure that you are correct in your thought that the apostles kept
the passover feast. When I look only at the scripture you gave, I see
that perhaps Paul was not saying that people should literally keep the
passover, but that he was taking a "type and shadow" of the Old Testament
(usually something solidly material such as a feast) and "spiritualizing"
it. He talks of "unleavened bread of sincerity and truth". Do you have
other scriptures to show where they perhaps kept the passover? Otherwise,
I am thinking this may simply be meant to be a spiritual parallel and not
an admonishment to keep a literal feast.

Lord bless you,
