Well, if I'm correct, someone would consider the natural man "not saved" and "living a sinful life".

The natural man doesn't accept the things of God because they are spiritual, but the spiritual man can understand both the natural and the spiritual.

Natural man is of the world. The spiritual man lives in the world but is not of the world.

Hello Micheal S.
The natural man leans to his on understanding, and the spiritual man leans on the understanding of God almighty, which is referred to as the spiritual man.
Normally what happens here is christian will pray and seek Gods advice before making a decision. This means that they consult with the spiritual man, and lean not to there on understanding, but the understanding of spirit.

The spiritual man is real and the image of God, while the natural is the "old man" to put off.

Natural Man :controlled by #Sight -Feelings-Pleasure-Religion
Commerce-raw power-Opposed to God-Self Centered-prone to Sin.He doesn"t have anything to call on other than Self.Self is not enough,I was there once,Thank God,I am free from that load.
Spiritual Man:A Believer in Jesus Christ#1 Surrendered to God,
Controlled by God"s Word--The Holy Spirit and Faith.
He goes after God 100 %.If He Sins and We do, is quick to ask God"s Forgiveness,agrees with God"s Word,gets up and moves on out with God.He realey cares for others,Saved or Lost.

I don't recall reading the term "natural man" in the bible. Can you quote a scripture that mentions this?

Many think of at the instant that for the time of 1948, whilst Isreal grew to become a rustic as quickly as back that that's fullfillment of prohesy of Isaiah sixty six:7,8, yet this would't be because of the fact as an entire the Jews in Isreal do not settle for Jesus Christ because of the fact the Messisah not to point his father Jehovah. Jesus pronounced himself that "there homestead replaced into to be deserted to them" (matthew 23:38) "the dominion of God would be taken far flung from you and given to a rustic producing its end result" (matthew 21:33-40 3) The apostle Paul for sure pointed out that "u . s . a ." as one composed of persons who had commonplace Christ Jesus. (a million pteter 2:4-10 in certainty, Peter utilized to fellow Christians the very words that have been directed to organic Isreal: "you're a chosed race, a royal priesthood, a holy u . s . a ., a human beings for particular possession. ( a million peter 2:9; evaluate Ex 19:5,6) They have been sealed with holy spirit, which replaced right into a enhance token of heavenly inheritance. ( 2Co a million:22: 5:5; Eph a million:13,14) How can we tell it truly is a "non secular Isreal"?? a million Peter 2: 4-10 "Coming to him as to a residing stone, rejected, it truly is actual, via men. yet chosen, beneficial, with God, You yourselves additionally as residing stones are being equipped up a non secular homestead for the objective of a holy priesthood, to furnish up non secular sacrifices proper to God with the aid of Jesus Chirst.

The best Scripture to start any study on that is 1 Corinthians 2:14-3:3:
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
So...
The natural man:
1. refuses the things of God.
2. he can't understand them.
3. he believes the things of God are foolishness.
The spiritual man:
1. judges all things.
2. nobody can judge him.
3. he has the mind of Christ.
There is a 3rd category... the natural Christian... But I'll let you see for yourself his characteristics.
