...what do you think I was describing when I talked about the outward man? CARNAL MAN. Living for the outward man, and BY THE OUTWARD MAN. That IS CARNAL. Good grief. Is it that difficult to comprehend? That would be a great example of the MILK. And not the MEAT of Paul’s writings.
Seriously, “outward” conveys nothing WRT man’s spiritual condition. It is an obfuscatory word in this usage.
The Corinthians were so aloof from God that they had no real idea what the spiritual gifts even meant. Paul chided them for faking speaking in tongues (funny, people still do that today) and said they’d be better off speaking in tongues they had learned as Paul himself had.
The Corinthian is the essence of the modern ‘believer.’

Wow, I didn’t mean to say it three times!
