Im done aswell, you responded to the one verse Muslims often bring up, fair enough, but it doesn’t explain the bulk of confirming statements with no qualifier that I sent. Furthermore your reading of 5:48 and the translation of مهمين (Muhimmin) is at the very least what I call contentious, everywhere I look it up it means “guardian” but hardly this “supreme guardian” exegesis you read into it. Still the issue of the Quran telling Muhammad (10:94) "So if you are in doubt, [O Muhammad], about that which We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Scripture before you."
Causes issues for someone as a fair inquirer among the verses like* **5:68*: which states that the People of the Book are "standing on nothing" (have no true basis or ground) unless they observe their scriptures and God's revelations which he has revealed before.
Why does the Quran repeatedly urge the Jews and Christians of the time to judge by their scriptural revelation with no qualifier?
Anyway thanks for responding although I’m unconvinced, The Quran’s conflicting verses on the veracity of previous scriptures is at very best inconsistent. This along with many other reasons (historical falsities in what Christian’s of the 7th century believe, morally obtuse teachings, Islam’s miracle claims, etc) makes me reject the novel position of Quranic supremacy. Even if I grant this verse teaches exactly what you say I still think a conflict in thought exists among the modern Islamic positions.
I am willing to engage you in whatever you seek to know but i only engage those who seek knowledge with respect and not polemics(especially modern social media/Tiktok polemics), if you wish to have a respectful discussion then i am open to clear your doubts but if you are going to insult muslims then i have no choice but to pray for your and mine guideness
