Deep theo 3

I was reading and it appears that this debate already is raging. What I put forth seems to follow it or rather Calvin. Covenant of works and Covenant of redemption are tied closer to the covenant of Grace. Almost into a single covenant with distinct aspects. Distinct but not separate.

As for Law with capital L. The Law of sinai shows God's image. It cannot justify in fulfilling the covenant of image bearing but can only condemn. Thus the Law of sinai is outside of grace. Yet, God's image is the standard of it.

The 2nd great debate on Calvin's theology circles around his coventant theology.
I am returning back to John Murray's thoughts I think. I have never read the man.
It seems that the image bearing formulation takes kline's view and systemizes them with murray. I am looking at one other person. I disagree with Jordan on saying that something was lacking in Adam's covenant relationship with God. I would say that such a relationship was the end not a means of something else.
