First: the Quran never says it’s confirming the Jewish and Christian canons that exist in the 7th century. It only claims to confirm what prior prophets actually taught including the gospel message Jesus actually taught. Jewish and Christian scriptural canons are not coextensive with what the prophets actually taught; they at best contain some extant prophetic teaching in meaning plus layers of post prophetic edits, redaction and interpretations. Second: the Jewish and Christian scriptures in their present form must be interpreted to arrive at Christian doctrines; they can also be interpreted in agreement with the Quran. So even if one grants the Quran confirming them, the dilemma argument requires the Quran to agree to Christian exegesis of the Bible - which the Quran definitely does not confirm and outright rejects.

a big lineup comm for a pair of shapeshifters... extinct and extant animals

Quit blaming DOGE for uncovering the incredible waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars. Screech at the bureaucrats who funded wasteful, stupid stuff and thereby lost taxpayer trust. And donate to an extant charity that addresses whatever issue concerns you most. That's what we do.

This year marks a century since the publication of one of the earliest still-extant stories explicitly portraying Black bisexuality 🫶🏽

We don't know that at all. One only need review a few of the many extant translations to find that all translations are not created equal, which invalidates the theory that the Bible automatically survives in its original purest form no matter whose hands it goes thru. You need an Olympic level floor routine to twist that into a convincing statement.

Eh, not really we can reproduce pretty much any of their cheese and do to an extant. We just have others that are cheese whiz or not truly cheese like velveeta

Still, encomienda, on paper, was not that bad, superior to many still-extant feudal contracts in Europe, and many native lords received encomienda under Spanish law as well, including two daughters of Montezuma. In practice...

It's got to be Cicero, and then I'm going to pump him for the entire extant of philosophical thought up till his time like a hydraulic press.

I guess that’s sort of my point. You don’t have to do gain of function research to create a vaccine for an extant virus. At a minimum, the positioning of this report is disingenuous.

Wiggenhall St Peter's church is one of Norfolk's most evocative ruins. Set next to the Great Ouse, the extant fabric dates mostly from the 15th century, although probably built on the site of an earlier church. Its roof was removed by the 1930s. It was only deconsecrated last year.

I don't really think he is trying, at all, anymore. However, to whatever extant he is trying, it will be with using Cursor's incredibly valuable real world coding data. The Cursor acquisition was an incredible deal.

This hadith was ghareeb from Muawiyah ibn Salam according to Ibn Maeen. In our extant sources, it appears to be ghareeb from Abbas ibn Waleed. Gharabah from these people who have few students is reasonable. Even then, fails to reach the level of Sahih due to gharabah.

The previous generation of American "gay voice" was highly influenced by (and later preserved in) Hollywood movies. There aren't too many remaining extant speakers of that particular dialect, but it has shaped more recent ways of speaking significantly.

It’s crazy how much no one cares bout the 250th. Our nation is no longer extant.

Much saddened by extant divisions driven not by reason but emotions exploited by extremely selfish people. From 1993 to 2026 Nigeria has suffered nation building reversals even though a technology driven shrinking of world to a global village should have meant the opposite

The Qur'an confirms all those parts of the earlier divine books which are still extant in their true and original form. Their Author is one and the same; their aim and purpose are the same; their teaching with regards to theology is the same (One unipersonal God);
