But without that verse I just see God telling Adam what He is to do, not necessarily making a covenant with him. Although I don't think there's a problem with saying Adam was in covenant with God in a general sense of having a special relationship with Him. Yet creating a theological system with epochs like "The Adamic Covenant" strikes me as pushing things a bit much and getting outside the Scripture's presentation of doctrine.
At the end of the day, does it make a difference?
