No — for Jews and Gentiles today there is no difference; both must approach God by faith in the same gospel.
Les Feldick teaches, and Romans 3 and Romans 10 confirm, that there is no difference between Jew and Greek. All are unworthy, all have sinned, and salvation is offered on the same level playing field. A Jew does not come in on a different level from a Gentile, and no one may rely on Jewishness, works, or any supposed advantage to reach God.
Romans 3:22-23 — Paul anchors 'no difference' in the universal fact that all have sinned and come short of God's glory.
Romans 10:12 — Paul explicitly says there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, and the same Lord is rich to all who call upon Him.
The Bible's answer is plain: there is no difference. In Romans 3:22-23, Paul says God's righteousness is 'by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.' In Romans 10:12 he repeats it: '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.' Nothing in these verses permits a separate approach to God for Jews — either a higher or a lower level. All stand on the same ground: under sin, and in need of the same righteousness from God through faith.
Les Feldick repeatedly emphasizes that in the present dispensation there is no difference between Jew and Gentile in how they approach God. He says Paul makes this plain in Romans chapters 3, 6, and 10: 'A Jew doesn't come in on a different level from a Gentile, he doesn't come in on a lower level. They are all together unworthy, they are all without hope, Jew and Gentile.' For Les, this means a Jew today must be saved the same way a Gentile is saved — by grace through faith, and not by the works religion of Judaism.
Les acknowledges that in the Old Testament God told Israel, 'You're different. I'm going to make you different. I'm going to set you apart.' They were told not to have anything to do with the pagans. But this old economy has been replaced: Paul reveals the mystery that had been hid in God from the beginning of the world — 'that the Gentiles should come in under God's grace.' So while God once set Israel apart, that does not create a separate path for a Jew to approach God today.
Les points to Romans 10:12: 'There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek or the Gentiles for the same Lord, for the Jew as well as us, the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.' He also notes that from Abraham through Acts, God primarily dealt with Israel — 'Jew only, with exceptions.' Yet now, in this age of grace, 'there is no difference. A Jew does not have to give up his Jewishness... but they have to separate themselves from all of the Old Testament economy.' Salvation is on a level playing field.
No. Les says Israel's advantages — the priesthood, worship, civil law, and the whole system of law — accomplished practically nothing. They simply proved that the old Adamic nature is as evident in Abraham's son as in a Gentile. Jewish people today, like all people, must understand that 'if it's by grace, that gospel by which we are saved, then it is no more of works.' Being Jewish does not give anyone a different way to approach God.
The Mystery Revealed to Gentiles
Les explains that God's grace to Gentiles was a secret hidden from Adam onward, now revealed by the apostle Paul — key context for why Israel's old separateness does not apply to the present age.
No Different Level for Jew or Gentile
Les says Paul's point in Romans 3 and 6 is that there is no difference: Jews and Gentiles are all unworthy and without hope, so a Jew must be saved the same way we are — by grace, not by works.
A Level Playing Field in Romans 10
Les applies Romans 10's salvation verses equally to Jews and Gentiles, saying a Jew has neither advantage nor disadvantage; all are under sin and need salvation.
All Have Sinned, So No Difference
Les grounds the 'no difference' in Romans 3 on the fact that both the law-keeping Jew and the Gentile are sinners, so faith is the only way to the gospel.
Israel's Old Separation vs. Paul's No Difference
Les contrasts God's Old Testament command to set Israel apart from the pagans with Paul's later declaration that there is no difference — a hard truth for the Jews of Paul's day.
Same Lord Over All
Les points to Romans 10:12, where the same Lord over all is rich to all who call on Him, and reminds us that Israel's special treatment in the Old Testament had exceptions, not a separate salvation.
Grace, Not Law, for This Age
Les insists that while a Jew doesn't need to stop being Jewish, he must separate from the Old Testament economy, because the Law was settled at the cross.
Israel's Advantage Doesn't Equal Different Access
Les acknowledges Israel's privileges — priesthood, worship, law, and God's Word — but says those merely proved the same fallen Adamic nature is in the Jew as in the Gentile.
Romans 3:22-23: 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: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
This is Paul's foundational statement that righteousness comes by faith to everyone, with no difference, because all have sinned.
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.
This verse directly answers the question by saying there is no difference between Jew and Greek in how they call upon God.
Romans 3:1-2: What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Les uses these verses to show that Israel's real advantage was receiving God's Word, not having a different way to approach God.
No. Les Feldick teaches, and Romans 10:12 confirms, that there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. All are under sin, all are without hope, and both must be saved by grace through faith in the same gospel.
Israel received great privileges — God's Word, the priesthood, the worship, and the Law. But these did not make Jewish people less sinful or give them a separate path to God. They simply proved that the same Adamic nature is in the Jew as in the Gentile.
Yes. Paul says the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him, because there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek. The gospel of grace is offered to everyone on the same level playing field.
