Son or Servant?

Was Adam created Son or Servant?  Is the primary relationship of Yahweh to Adam Lord or Father?

Recognizing that Adam was placed in a stoicheic situation from his creation cuts through the opposition.

Adam is created a son.  That’s what it means to be in the image and likeness of God.  He is a created counterpart to the Image.

Yet, in the stoicheic conditions of the garden, he was a minor son who did not differ from a slave though he was owner of everything, a son under guardians and managers until the time appointed by the Father.
