And don't forget that after God created, He said that His Creation was "very good". If death is an enemy that Christ came to defeat, then how is death part of what is "very good"?

Also, consider Exodus 20:11

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Putting a "gap" between the first and second day is extra-biblical. It is an assumption made without support of the text.

Exactly.

Iscool -- on what basis do you make this? it's like your post above adding the word "new" to earth and heavens -- does your group think that God recreated heaven many times?

Let’s look at what you say is God’s first act what scripture says it looked like.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Are you trying to tell us that the first thing God did was create a world that was a total mess?
