Reconstruction?
Ordering?
Renovation?
Lifting of the curse?
Re-creation?
What do call it? What would be a good word to describe what God was doing in the rest of Genesis chapter 1 after verse 1?

4b - there is another group that holds that Gen 1:2 is a “commentary” on how Gen 1:1 occurs. among this group there are divisions as well
All of these groups and divisions use scripture to justify their belief. All of them have rebuttals to those that discount those beliefs. All have strong agruments, and all have weaknesses. A quick glance at many of the free on-line commentaries will share that information with you.
Would it kill you, rather than ask a thousands questions just to state it here: "So then what would you call the rest of the Genesis 1:2-31 account?
Reconstruction?

Lifting of the curse?
Re-creation?"
It is a shame that some people avoid direct responses.
