You have confused knowing "the things of the Spirit of God" with knowing anything at all about God. In Romans 1:19-20, we are told that God has made plain to wicked people His eternal power and divine nature. That contradicts your view of 1 Corinthians 2:14.
By your words, you do not understand the truths contained in the gospel of Christ. Maybe next time, leave off the condemnatory conclusions, lest they bite you!

How could the original apostles do it without successors?

Luke 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
It says Mary was not knowing a man, it does not say she would never know a man.
Matt 1:25 And [Joseph] knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
As I said, you can call Mary the mother of God. That does not mean she deserves the veneration the Catholic Church bestows on her.

No matter how many times you say it, it will never be true. People are not born again (quickened) until they decide to believe the gospel.
Yes, but Jesus also taught anyone who would listen. As did the other disciples, and Paul. People need to be taught the gospel so they can have a chance to believe it.
