this is not true "REFORMED scholars who MUST have a covenant WHERE THERE IS NONE do. Read the BIBLE the covenant is made in
Gen 22 and I have pointed this scripture out multiple times.

If Abrahams faith, that Paul points back to, is not the basis of the entire covenant (faith), then I don't know what is.

CONTEXT= what is faith defined as!
HELLO... seriously connect the dots of what I have said multipletime. HIS faith is seen as a whole not just a isolate!
James 2 "fulfilled"... when... ISAAC. Thus God judged/considered/thought "it" to him as just or righteous.

In case you fail to realize the covenantal language (because the terms of agreement aren't spelled out enough), v18 says 18On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,(W) "To your offspring I give[c] this land, from(X) the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, 19the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites."

your point? This was not the covenant about offspring as sands of the sea etc... EVEN your reformed theologians say that is not the same covenant.
The covenant is clearly made in
Gen 22 if you can't see that your blind.
