So we agree then that Spurgeon does not use the term 'Covenant of Redemption' in his commentary on Psalm LXXII?
Since it is quoted in the Treasury of David, vol 3, p. 331, one would be incorrect to accept your statement. Spurgeon used/quoted the phrase!

Do you think Spurgeon used this quote without knowing what it meant? Do you think he disagreed with the quote and thus used it in his commentary? [Linked Image] Moreover, Spurgeon used the phrase elsewhere <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Eeeeeek.gif" alt="" />:

The marriage of the Lamb is the result of the eternal gift of the Father. Our Lord says, “Thine they were, and thou gayest them me.” His prayer was, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” The Father made a choice, and the chosen he gave to his Son to be his portion. For them he entered into a covenant of redemption, whereby he was pledged in due time to take upon himself their nature, pay the penalty of their offenses, and set them free to be his own. Beloved, that which was arranged in the councils of eternity and settled there between the high contracting parties, is brought to its ultimate end in that day when the Lamb takes unto himself in everlasting union the whole of those whom his Father gave him from of old.

THE MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB. NO. 2096. July 21, 1889. Spurgeon, Charles H. Spurgeon's Sermons: Volume 35.
The point was and still is that Baptists (even Malone) use and understand the term. Do you now understand what it means? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/uhoh.gif" alt="" />

What you have posted is a quotation from Jonathan Edwards which Spurgeon appended to his commentary
Steve, I know what I posted, as I originally attached Jonathan Edward's name to the quote. Your stupendous discovery of reading my post does not negate that Spurgeon choose to use this quote. Please, if you are going to make a valid point then make it, however this run around business you are giving us is not worth responding to! [Linked Image]
