But the natural man, that which is governed by the sensuous nature with its subjection to a sinful appetite and passion, does not have the intellect to perceive that which is revealed by the Spirit of God: for these spiritual things are insignificant and do not make sense to him: in fact he is not even capable of this intelligence because these can only be interrogated through the Spirit.
Again, Paul teaches that the natural man is in no way capable of acquiring the intellect which only the Spirit of God can posses. However, once a person is regenerated he has both the natural carnal nature with only the knowledge of man, as well as the spiritual nature having the capability to know the spiritual things of God.
