Law is not based on ability. It's Pelagian to say that law given means ability given. So why that law to Adam is "only possible" if Adam "could have". In other words, no should have without "could have". This is not to get into a discussion about Adam before the fall, but to question the linking of justice to ability.<br /><br />Scott Clark---"The covenant of works was possible, on the Augustinian and Reformed scheme, precisely and only because Adam was still in his original state of integrity, righteousness, and holiness. In the Augustinian and Reformed view, after the fall, Adam and we in him became spiritually dead in sin and entirely unable and unwilling to “do this and live."<br /><br />http://heidelblog.net/2016/02/reconsidering-the-covenant-of-works/<br /><br />Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233995709579822605noreply@blogger.com
