A very odd pitcher to see; The natural man, who cannot understand the things of the Spirit, and thinks them to be foolishness, repenting of breaking a spiritual law that he cannot understand. The natural man will not do that, infact, 1 Cor 2:14 says he cannot know spiritual laws, because they are spiritually discerned. The only way that the natural man can understand spiritual things is after he has been quickened to a spiritual life.
The child thinks his choices are the cause of everything. Bad choices cause bad things and good choices cause good things.
The grown man knows that his choices were never good enough to deserve the blessing that he receives in Christ.
