Neither CofW or CofG? The CofW was with Adam. And if the CofG is the one covenant that binds them all (was Tolkein on to something), saying the covenant w/ Abraham somehow is related to the covenant of works doesn't make any sense.
Maybe I'll just start a new thread. But Genesis 17 says, Abraham's covenant is an eternal one, and that Abraham would be the father of many nations.
How does divvying up the covenat of Abraham into separate parts, some part of the CofW, some part of the CofG and some part of Cofsomethingelse make any sense at all? I ask this out of sincerity and respect.
