I always thought that the 'Covenant of Grace" began at Genesis 3:15. Now I'm hearing that others are saying Genesis 3:6. Since it pertains to the same teaching, it may just be splitting hairs. What is the general consensus among the Reformed?

On the other front of the covenants, why do so many dislike the term, 'Covenant of Works', preferring either 'Covenant of Creation' or 'Covenant of Life'? IMO, Works seems to go so well with Grace. And finally another possible misconception of mine. I thought the Covenant of Work was everything preceding the 'Covenant of Grace', yet I heard recently it begins at Genesis 1:26. Another splitting of hairs probably.
