I don’t think natural man” slurs is a slur when someone delibertly takes another post an to rend or to turning it on them, for that is not the spirit it was given.

This why this is not the place to discuss salvaion when it show that some are not ready to read what the scriptures say and try to rend them even.

To some where they reside in the scheme of things this is hard

When a person has a desire to know the Lord more, than hard things to hear then they shall be able to receive.

1 Ne. 15:

3 For he truly spake many great things unto them, which were hard to be understood, save a man should inquire of the Lord; and they being hard in their hearts, therefore they did not look unto the Lord as they ought.

4 And now I, Nephi, was grieved because of the hardness of their hearts, and also, because of the things which I had seen, and knew they must unavoidably come to pass because of the great wickedness of the children of men.

10 Behold, I said unto them: How is it that ye do not keep the commandments of the Lord? How is it that ye will perish, because of the hardness of your hearts?

I disagree. From the definitions you posted of "natural man" I doubt anyone would NOT see it as a slur.

This why this is not the place to discuss salvaion when it show that some are not ready to read what the scriptures say and try to rend them even.

That's pretty obvious, when someone takes it upon themself to judge sin in others.

When a person has a desire to know the Lord more, than hard things to hear then they shall be able to receive.

I pray that someday you will be willing to know the Lord and desire to receive the truth, I really do.
