Pilgrim,

I agree with every thing you wrote. When I was talking to my friend, I had mentioned that the foreshadowing of Christ in 3:15 and the clothing of Adam and Eve showing God's favor toward them as reasons why I thought they were elect. I had not, however, made the connection between God clothing Adam and Eve and the shedding of blood as well as our being clothed in Christ's righteousness. I really think those are important images, so I thank you for bringing them to my attention.
