Abrogation of Some of the Ayahs

It seems there are three types of abrogations. 1. Verses which were abrogated, but the orders in them are still practiced e.g., stoning an adulterer. 2. Verses which were not abrogated from the Quran, but the orders in them were abrogated e.g., drinking. 3. Verses which were removed from the Quran; the orders given in them were also abrogated e.g. confining the accused (of adultery) woman at home. The second type is easily understood. The first and third are not. Allah can't make a mistake. Why were verses abrogated or orders removed? 8.20.2010 03:10
