Verse 2 does not say it was created without form. It does say 'now the earth existed' without form and void.
Verse one says it was created and verse 2 says it was without form. Thus, it was not complete in verse 1 because the form was yet to be determined.

Now if Jeremiah was not talking about the condition of the earth in Genesis 1:2, when was the earth in that condition that he could observe?
As I said, Jeremiah 4:28-29 says that it in the future the city would be attacked by horsemen and bowmen. Jeremiah was a prophet, after all, not a historian.

But that is what you did when you went through the stop sign at the end of verse 26.
There is no stop sign.

Re: A Noun By Any Other Name
Are you now saying he believed in a young earth as in YECism. Who is presenting falsehoods now
The falsehood presenter? That would be the lying sack of crap who made up statements, attributed them to me, and then tried to accuse me of lying. I said that Einstein understood that his modeling of the universe as static was an error. That particular truth is well known and documented. I doubt that even you dispute that point despite your previous couple of posts.
But didn't he spend the rest of his life trying to figure out how God did it...
No ICANT. That would be more pure fiction posted by you. Keep posting as you do. It reveals your character and your zeal for the truth, or at least the lack thereof.

Yes.
Static universe = a super old earth like eternal.
BBT = and old earth.
NoNukes writes:

Well he did not accept the expanding universe because he created his fudge factor which much later he said was his biggest mistake. I see you forgot that part.

I did not forget. I'll note that you are providing evidence for my own point rather than yours. Einstein eventually did accept the expanding universe. That's what formed the motivation for his regret, dumb ass.
Did I make a statement representing a fact or did I ask a question?
You did present your idea in the form of a question. And then you ended by questioning me about me about who was telling falsehoods as if your question was a statement of fact. Now go ahead and lie and say that you did no such thing.
In fact, we both know that I made no claim whatsoever that Einstein espoused YEC beliefs. What I did say was that Einstein had discarded the idea that the universe was eternal, something that your own statement seemed to leave out deliberately, because you seem to know enough of the details about what Einstein actually did.

24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
space...
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it
Perhaps something more than a space is needed to make whatever your point might be.

A parashah is similar to a paragraph break. It can be used to indicate the end of one story and the start of another but sometimes it's just a dramatic pause.

This is a picture of the Dead Sea Scrolls from 185 BC.
As I said at the end of a paragraph there is a space. The ones in the picture is highlighted in yellow.
This space is to separate the preceding information from the information that is to follow.

Re: Creation

I submit that it does not matter whether that space ends a paragraph or a chapter as far as your point is concerned. Neither of those is a reason that the two portions must be inconsistent. One reason for my conclusion is that there are indications both before and after first 4:26 that the subject matter in question is about the future and not the past.
For example:
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
No break between there and verse 26 right? Notice how I am pointing to text and making my argument based on what is there rather than trying to interpret a space?
Beyond that, I would suggest this.
Even if there is a break between verse 26 and 27, your suggestion that that alters the meaning in some way is just your interpretation. Your interpretation is neither required by the text nor is it a natural reading of the text. At best your argument is an excuse or an "it may be" for your interpretation. And your interpretation seems to be for the sole purpose of misreading the text of Genesis. Absent some separate reason to believe you over what is clearly on the page, I don't believe you.

parashah was invented by the Masoretes to mark a specific topic for reading in the Sabbath worship.
You depend on definitions that can be edited by just about anyone, too much.
The spaces in the picture of the Dead Sea Scrolls was not invented by the Masoretes, as it was text that had no vowels, accents, or punctuation.
To see those spaces in the Dead Sea Scrolls, just look at my avatar.

The subject changes at verse 22.

The subject changes at verse 22 and the subject changes at verse 27.
The verb ראה 'I beheld' is qal perfect meaning what Jeremiah saw was a completed event.
Verse 27 is referring to a future event.

You are free to believe whatever you choose to believe.
But if you think I am wrong please show me where Jeremiah could have saw what he described anywhere else in the Bible.
