Can the most uneducated person understand the Word of God?
Yes. Understanding the Word of God does not depend on human education or intellect. When a person believes the gospel, God moves heaven and earth to bring that person to enlightenment, and the book begins to open up and make sense. The Holy Spirit enables the believer to understand Scripture.
Les teaches that the Word of God is not understood by human intellect or education but by believing the gospel. In the context, John writes to believers and tells them to test the spirits because many false prophets are in the world. Paul declares the one gospel he preached, which the Corinthians received and in which they stand. When a person believes that gospel, God moves heaven and earth to bring them to enlightenment. As soon as they believe, the book begins to open up and make sense. The only criteria is lining everything up with the Word of God, not what some preacher says. Therefore, even the most uneducated person can understand Scripture, because God enlightens the believer and opens the book to them through faith.
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
