Not all thafseers are the same, though the Quran itself in Arabic remains untouched. That's where the people go astray in. Trying to make their own Thafseers of the Quran.
And Marco:You are right,some verses in the Quran had been abrogated and again only with the correct Thafseer will you know this. A Good example being the verses on alcohol.
Anyways the bottom line is all this knowledge can only be gained by reading the Quran in Arabic, then seeking out it's most reliable Thafseer. We have to seek knowledge as Muslims and not try to assume we know it all. Many times certain rulings may not be found in the Quran but will be in the hadiths. And then you need to make sure those hadiths are reliable and not fabricated cos you do get many fabricated stories passed off as hadith.
Now if all of this sounds like hard work, well it is, but we are rewarded for every time we seek out knowledge and abandon ignorance and blind following!
