Yes — God is the God of both Jews and Gentiles.
Romans 10:12 says there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. Les Feldick teaches that since the cross, Jews and Gentiles stand on a level playing field, both justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 10:12 — Directly answers the question: there is no difference between Jew and Greek because the same Lord is rich unto all who call upon Him.
Ephesians 2:13 — Shows that Gentiles, once far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ, confirming God's inclusion of Gentiles.
Paul writes in Romans 10:12, "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him." Romans 3:22 adds that the righteousness of God is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference. And Romans 3:28 concludes that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Ephesians 2:11-13 describes the former condition of Gentiles: "Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." Romans 11:6 also shows that if salvation is by grace, it is no more of works — a truth that applies to both Jews and Gentiles.
Les teaches that in the Old Testament God primarily dealt with the Jew only, with exceptions. He illustrates this with a timeline: from Abraham until well into the Book of Acts, the top line is "Jew only, with exceptions." Gentiles in time past were without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world (Ephesians 2). Since the finished work of the cross, however, God is dealing with Jews and Gentiles on a level playing field. There is no difference. A Jew has no advantage over a Gentile, and no disadvantage. The Jew cannot come before God on covenant ground, and God sees no difference between races or social classes. Both are unworthy and without hope in themselves. Salvation for both is by grace through faith — faith plus nothing until salvation, then works follow. Jewish people do not need to give up their Jewishness, but they must separate from the Old Testament economy of law and drop a works religion.
Les teaches that from the call of Abraham until well into the Book of Acts, God's primary dealing was with the nation of Israel — "Jew only, with exceptions" (Clips 2, 6). In Ephesians 2, Paul reminded Gentiles that in time past they were uncircumcision, without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Then he says, "But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ" (Ephesians 2:13).
Les says that because everything was accomplished at the cross, Paul can now go into the Gentile world and declare that there is no difference. Romans 10:12 says the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. The Gentiles are made nigh by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13). A Jew today is under no different situation than a Gentile; salvation is offered on a level playing field. God is not saying He is only dealing with the Jew — He is dealing with Gentiles on the basis of the finished work of the cross.
Les emphasizes that a Jew cannot come before God on covenant ground and say, "I'm a Jew." God sees no difference. Paul concludes that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law (Romans 3:28). If salvation is by grace, it is no more of works (Romans 11:6). Both Jew and Gentile must be saved the same way: by faith in the finished work of the cross, with nothing added — faith plus nothing until saved. Then works follow, but never for salvation.
Justified by Faith Without Works
Les shows from Romans 3:28 that a person is justified by faith without the deeds of the law; salvation is faith plus nothing until saved, then works follow.
Gentiles Made Nigh by Blood
Les explains Ephesians 2:13: Gentiles who were far off are now made nigh by the blood of Christ, and the only way to deal with old Adam is faith and shed blood.
No Difference Between Jew and Greek
Les reads Romans 10:12 to show the same Lord is rich to all who call, and he notes that in the Old Testament God primarily dealt with Israel — Jew only, with exceptions.
Level Playing Field
Les teaches a Jew today is under no different situation than a Gentile; salvation is offered on a level playing field with no advantage.
Grace Excludes Works
Les applies Romans 11:6 to Jewish believers: if salvation is by grace it is no more of works, so Jews must drop their works religion and be saved the same way as Gentiles.
Old Testament Economy Settled at the Cross
Les says since the cross there is no difference; Jews do not have to give up Jewishness but must separate from the Old Testament economy because the Law was nailed to the cross.
Gentiles Called Uncircumcision
Les uses Ephesians 2:11 to show that in time past Gentiles were called uncircumcision by the circumcision, and God dealt with Jew only.
No Covenant Ground
Les teaches that a Jew cannot come before God on covenant ground; God sees no difference between Jew and Gentile, or any race or class.
Romans 10:12: For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
These words directly answer whether God is God of both Jews and Gentiles.
Romans 3:22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Shows that God's righteousness is available to all who believe, with no distinction between Jew and Gentile.
Romans 3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Explains the basis of justification is faith, not law-keeping, for both Jew and Gentile.
Ephesians 2:12: That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Describes the former hopeless condition of Gentiles before Christ.
Ephesians 2:13: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Shows how Gentiles are brought near to God through Christ's blood.
Romans 11:6: And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Reveals that grace and works cannot be mixed, applying equally to Jews and Gentiles.
Colossians 2:14: Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Les cites this to show the Old Testament law was settled and nailed to the cross.
Les says no. He does not claim that Jews must give up their Jewishness, but they must separate from the Old Testament economy of law. Jewish people have to drop a works religion and be saved by grace through faith, just like Gentiles.
No. Les teaches that a Jew is under no different situation than a Gentile. Both are unworthy, both are in need of salvation, and both are justified by faith without the deeds of the law. There is no difference.
Les says God primarily dealt with the Jew only, with exceptions. Gentiles were far off, without hope, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel. But now, in Christ, those who were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
