Paul calls on those who are spiritual to restore those who have fallen into sin.
The message of wisdom is for the mature.
God destined this secret to be ours before time began.
God's plan was revealed by the Spirit.
We have received the Spirit of God so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
He speaks in words. Since I have never heard Him whisper in my ear, I would guess that He speaks to us through the written Word of God - the Bible.
The things of the Spirit are foolishness to him. They can only be understood by spiritual people.
A spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he is not subject to any man's judgment.
Paul addressed the Corinthian Christians as spiritual babes.
Inward immiturity is made manifest by jealousy and quarreling.
God called on the people to repent and He promised to restore their land. I'm not sure that this applies to us. He was speaking to the Israelites who were His chosen people here on earth. We are His spiritual nation. I don't recall a passage where God promised to save our physical nation. Maybe I was misunderstanding her point?
I Corinthians describes the carnal man as an infant who needs milk, jealous, and quarrelsome.
Paul is pointing out to them that they aren't acting as if they are saved. They are acting as if they had never been called out of the world.
