Then I respectfully point out that you may not really have grasped traditional Covenant Theology and have misunderstood Horton on this.

The Sinaitic/Mosaic Covenant: Works or Grace? Turretin Explains… « The Reformed Reader
I really don't think I have misunderstood traditional Reformed theology, which puts the Mosaic Covenant within the Covenant of Grace...

Quoting WCF VII.V This Covenant (antecedent of grace) was differently administered in the time of the law, and in the time of the gospel; under the law it was administered by promises, prophecies, sacrifices, circumcision, the pashcal lamb and other types and ordinances delivered to the people of the Jews, all foresignifying Christ to come, which were for that time sufficient and efficacious through the operation of the spirit...etc etc.

Whatever Turretin may or may not have said is secondary, and believe me, I have read a LOT of Turretin on the covenant.

It really is okay to differ from Mike Horton and Meredith Kline on some aspects of covenant theology, is it not?
