S
in 1 Cor 2;
Spiritual man were the inspired writers of the bible, the ones who were miraculously endowed to receive words from the Holy Spirit, write those inspired words down so the rest of us can read and understand, Eph 3:3,4.
The natural man is simply the man who is not miraculously endowed to receive revelatory words from the Holy Spirit.
Acts 7:54 "When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth."
Stephen preached God's word to those lost, carnal men. Yet they DID understand those words of God as seen by their reaction to those words. Carnal man CAN understand God's word but choose not to believe it.
Rom 8:5 "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit"
Your mind the things which you choose to go after.

This is where you go astray....by equating the carnal man and the natural man as the same. They are not the same.
