Regarding OT

[Syedsamad]

Whenever I discuss something related with ot with Christian all he says is these laws are abrogated are they really abrogated by Jesus Christ or they just make it up ?

[Albarra]

No, the Old Testament or Old Law is not abrogated.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus did not come to abolish the old law but to fulfill instead.


17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-20 NIV)

Unfortunately, many Christians don't follow Jesus' rule, but they follow Apostle Paul, which he believed that the Old law was abolished.
However, Muslim scholars don't trust Paul because he actually did not follow Jesus' rule. Visit:

Paul declared the OT Laws  were abrogated signified by the resurrection and ascension of Jesus to heaven. Sufficient to only have faith in resurrection of Jesus to achieve salvation,
 the obligatory practices/restrictions performed by Israelites in their daily worship are things of the past.

[Syedsamad]

Paul on what grounds said this like how did he get so much authority and why people believed him ?
P.S:- I have very little knowledge about Paul

All of those Greek books on stories of Jesus were written by Hellenistic authors that were raised with a culture of idolizing multi Gods in human form.
The Hellenistic converts basically migrated from a belief of polytheism of many human looking gods to an almighty singular god with 3 forms or at most three different gods that share equal status.

So it is not that hard for Paul to gain authority among converts of Roman gentiles based on the story of Jesus (a human God) having resurrection and ascension on earth.

If Paul were to invite Roman gentiles to believe in a singular unique God that does not have sculptress on earth or any form of resemblances. Paul will be cursed by the Helenistics Romans as mad man for inventing a new type of God that has no human appearance.
