gandalf,
Thank you for the quote [that you posted] and for the information which it contains.
What it states, makes a lot of sense to me.
Personally i accept that the concept of Koranic 'abrogation' was always a fabricated 'device', which has been used by moslems [and which, imo, was 'manufactured' precisely to be used by moslems], to serve the interests of moslems - at 'this' moment in time.
And i concede that the clerics of all religions have done this.
If they see a 'need', clerics will 'move mountains' try to bend the meaning of scripture, or to give a new interpretation of scripture, which can be fashioned to serve the secular and worldly [but 'righteous'] 'interests', ...of, the clerics.
Politics, even religious politics, is 'a greasy pole'!! ...imo.
gandalf,
Thank you for the link.
And please read my words again, the section that i have highlighted from the link.
Yes, i believe abrogation is false, and abrogation is an intentional falsification which was fabricated by moslems.
[i concede my poor memory, of what i did say]
What i am saying [in the link post] is that Koranic 'abrogation' [in itself] is a fabricated 'device', which was used by moslems, to promote the most advantageous Koranic argument [from available multiple/differing Koranic arguments ],
as was convenient to an occasion.
e.g.
And of course, i understand the Koran is perfect and inerrant [
i speak as a moslem].
And when i am in an infidel jurisdiction i quote;
"Let there be no compulsion in religion...."
Koran 2.256
...because those words will convey
a belief into the heart of the infidel, which is to my advantage and to the advantage of all moslems.
But when i am in an Sharia jurisdiction i abide with [i.e. i live with] [or when i am engaged in Jihad 'operations' against the kuffar, i quote];
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah),
never will it be accepted of him;...."
Koran 3.85
...because in this place [or during Jihad 'operations'], i am seeking to make the infidel subject to the will of Allah [and subject to my will, as Allah's proxy!].

gandalf,
Why would a body of moslems wish for, or believe that Allah would 'strike out' [abrogate] verses from his
inerrant Koran, when their judicious selection and use of
a verse, can so effectively disarm and put an [uninformed and naive] infidel 'on the back foot' ?
The example above [the contrast between what is conveyed in Koran 2.256 and Koran 3.85], is the mirror [imo] of the duplicity which is expressed, and which is in accord with 'the spirit' of another Koran verse...
"None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten,
but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?"
Koran 2.106
The Koran does not contain contradictory ideas [i speak as Allah], i [Allah] add a new verse to the Koran as is convenient [for Mohammed's use] for a particular occasion/purpose.
The Koran does not contain contradictory ideas [i speak as a moslem], i [as a moslem] just select the verse from the Koran which is most convenient to this occasion/purpose.
And this duality which is found throughout ISLAM, plainly demonstrates how moslems, can lawfully promote duplicitous views, with one lawful Koranic 'principle' being conveyed for 'this' occasion, with another [and contradictory] lawful Koranic 'principle' being conveyed for 'that' occasion.

You want to highlight the [supposed] error and the 'misunderstanding' of the intricacies of 'abrogation' by a disbeliever.
While i am more interested in exposing the role [the function] which 'abrogation' plays, in determining the nature of the behaviour which moslems engage in, in their ongoing and never ending conflict with disbelievers [...attention to which, is precisely what moslems want avoid].
You want the argument to be about my [supposed] malicious and intentional error [in 'misunderstanding' a virtuous and benign ISLAM].
While i want the argument to be about ISLAM's undeclared [and intentional] malicious intent.
