This is where the "monogenes" comes in. Perhaps your eternal son of God doctrine hinders you from understanding me in this. Jesus is unique, and had to come under the law to redeem those who were under law. Nevertheless, those under law have to come out from under law to come under Christ. Romans 7:4 (4) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Notice how he does not say that the law has become dead by the body of Christ, which is the way it appears that some of you tend to perceive this work of Christ. Rather, he says YE are become dead to the law. Whereas they once had a covenant under law, they now have a covenant under Christ. Peace be with you.
