Were the Gospels Abrogated?
Many Afghans repeatedly say that the Holy scriptures have been abrogated. They believe every holy book other than the Quran is abrogated.
Transcript:
An Afghan sister has written, "The Gospel has been abrogated, brother."
Thank you for this question, dear sister. As followers of Jesus Christ, we believe that if God is eternal, so is His Word, and therefore, it can never become abrogated. Some teach that God's Word is outdated or altered, but to me, this is a great insult to God, whose Word is sacred and eternal.
The idea that God's Word could become obsolete is nonsensical because God neither makes mistakes that He would need to correct nor lies to replace His some falsehood He has said with a truth. Those who have taught us that God's Word could be abrogated were either mistaken or lied to hide God's Word from us. I hope instead of repeating others' falsehoods, you would read the Gospel for yourself and see what He wants to teach you. May the Lord bless you and be gracious to you, dear sister.
