17 Jesus started to leave, but a man ran to him and bowed down on his knees before him. The man asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to get the life that never ends?”
18 Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. 19 And you know his commands: ‘You must not murder anyone, you must not commit adultery, you must not steal, you must not lie, you must not cheat, you must respect your father and mother ….’[d]”
The rich young man did not know Christ to be God, so Christ corrected Him (looking for the affirmation of the Holy Spirit with in him, as He found with the other deciples. They Knew Him to be God because God revealed to them) The rich young ruler when corrected did not insist that he knew Christ to be God. Which meant he was just blowing smoke to get in good with what at best he thought was a phrophet.
Yeshua didn't "correct" him, he stated that he didn't deserve to be called good and that only one (God) deserved that adjective. I'm curious as to where you got all of the back-story to support what I don't see written...

Question: How was it possible for darkness to cover the ocean when the ocean was not there?Quote:Verse 2 Verse 3 of the book of Genesis.I am just following the story of the holy bible and its mistakes. First line says creation of earth, second line clarifies the earth is empty.You have made claims without substantiation.
Then tell me how you are so sure that the earth was devoid of water. We have established your incorrect understanding of the Hebrew, and how it is used. so what other evidence do you have to prove that their was no water after God created the Earth, and before He created Life.
Can we use the same english version of the holy bible, so there is no discrepancy. So could you please copy and paste Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 from your named source, whatever english version you want.
Also don't forget these questions
The very first 2 lines of the bible and there are errors. How is it that your supposed god stuffed up the first 2 lines? If god is perfect, why are the first 2 lines wrong?
Who's to say if anyone's Hebrew is perfect?
I can see the first two lines as an analogy and NOT a literal interpretation.

The word for "earth" was הארץ , nf. country, land; earth, ground, geo-; territory

You do know that the Hebrew Bible was meant to provoke thought and discussion, don't you?
So, if you can apply "earth" to mean "matter", it may make sense, but I bet that you can't do that.
