Yes — God has sovereignly chosen to leave His Word in the hands of ordinary human beings, not angels or an educated elite.
Les Feldick teaches that God did not leave His Word with angels, although He could have. Instead, God has ordained that human beings promote His salvation and that one human instrument normally leads another to faith. The Holy Spirit opens a heart, and then a believer shares the truth of Scripture.
Romans 10:14-15 — This passage shows that faith comes through hearing the message, and hearing requires a human preacher—the very pattern Les emphasizes.
Paul's question in Romans 10:14 reveals that God's plan for the gospel involves human messengers: "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?" The following verse adds that preachers must be sent. In 2 Corinthians 5:20, believers are called Christ's ambassadors, with God making His appeal through His people. Ephesians 3:10 says the manifold wisdom of God is made known by the church—not by angels—unto principalities and powers.
Les consistently teaches that God has intentionally placed His Word in human hands. He says God did not leave the Word with angels and did not appoint angels to do His evangelization—He simply didn't do it that way. From the beginning of the human race, God has arranged for human beings to promote His salvation, and nearly every person who comes to faith is led by another human instrument.
Les answers this directly: God did not leave His Word in the hands of angels, and He did not appoint angels to evangelize. He could have, but He didn't. Instead, God has seen fit to leave His Word in the hands of human believers and to use one human instrument to lead another to a knowledge of salvation.
Les emphasizes that the church is made up of common ordinary people, not just seminarians or preachers. He recalls Tyndale wanting to get the Word of God into the hands of every plow boy in England, meaning no one is too uneducated to have or study the Scriptures. Every believer is expected to study and understand them.
Les teaches that the natural man cannot comprehend the deep things of Scripture until he becomes a child of God through salvation. The Holy Spirit then enlightens the believer and the Scriptures begin to open up. In the same way, no one can force another person to believe; the Lord must open the heart, and then a believer has to be there with the truth of the Word.
What Did the Ethiopian Eunuch Actually Believe? Acts 8
and investment. And so I just sort of go along with that. That this Ethiopian eunuch was indeed a Jew. And if he wasn't a Jew, he had to be a proselyte, because as you read on, he not only was a man of great authority under Candace the Queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, in other words, he was the treasurer of the Ethiopian economy, and he had come to Jerusalem for what pu…
God Uses Human Instruments
God did not leave His Word in the hands of angels; He almost always uses one human being to lead another to a knowledge of salvation.
Human Beings Promote Salvation
From the beginning of the human race, God ordained that human beings would promote His salvation; He could have used angels but did not.
Salvation Comes Before Understanding
A person must first have a salvation experience; then the Holy Spirit enlightens and the Scriptures begin to open up.
Believers as Ambassadors
God left His Word in human hands, and believers serve as ambassadors for Christ, bringing people to reconciliation with God.
God Opens the Heart
Human effort alone cannot convince people; God must strip away blindness and open the heart, after which believers share the truth.
The Common Person Is God's Instrument
The church is composed of common ordinary people, not just seminarians or preachers; no one is too uneducated to have and study the Word.
The Unbeliever Cannot Comprehend
Until someone becomes a child of God through salvation, the deep things of Scripture are utterly impossible to comprehend.
Romans 10:14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Shows that human preachers are essential to the chain of salvation.
Romans 10:15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Confirms that God sends messengers to proclaim the gospel.
2 Corinthians 5:20: Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Paul calls believers ambassadors through whom God appeals to the world.
Ephesians 3:10: To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
The church, not angels, makes known the wisdom of God.
According to Les Feldick, God did not leave His Word in the hands of angels and did not appoint angels to do His evangelization. He could have, but He chose not to; He has left His Word in the hands of human beings.
No. Les emphasizes that the common ordinary person in the pew is supposed to know the manifold wisdom of God. He cites Tyndale's desire to put the Word in the hands of every plow boy, and says no one is too uneducated to have and study the Scriptures.
Les says the deep things of Scripture are impossible to comprehend until a person becomes a child of God through salvation. The Holy Spirit then enlightens the believer and the Scriptures begin to open up.
Believers are to learn and become skilled in the Scripture so they can share it, and they must be present with the truth when the Lord opens someone's heart. God does the opening; believers do the explaining.
