Ep.79 - Covenant: God's Relationship to Us - Pt.3: The Probation: Covenant of Works (Adamic)

What is the covenant of works? What really happened in the garden? What did God establish with Adam and Eve? Was there an agreement in place that would rebound to universal repercussions? How do we understand Adams actions?

This week Pete and the Curious team take a look at the age old claim that God’s promise of life and His prohibition of eating from the tree of knowledge, was a form of conditional covenant that would be reflected in the later Mosaic covenant and for all humankind.
