Heb 6:1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Heb 6:2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

These are STILL foundational beliefs of many Christians, including Catholicism.
***The scripture you quoted yourself refutes your own claim. It is obviously “leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go onto ...”

basically all those other things are not “elementary principles of Christ”.

Ah, no.

The author in chapter 5 talks about the elementary principles of Christ. In the first verse of chapter 6 he says:

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ,

He's going to talk about something else now, not the elementary principles of Christ he was talking about before.

Let us go on to perfection...

He's been talking about how the Hebrews are baby like in their understanding...

NOT laying again the the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

He's doesn't want to go over AGAIN the foundational aspects of their faith...he wants to talk about something deeper, that has more spiritual meat.

Like it or not Kevmo, these ARE basic foundational beliefs of Christianity. If whatever church you're associating with doesn't teach them and if you don't do them then you need to ask why that is.
