I would only digress slightly, by saying the carnal, unregenerate mind cannot focus on anything that is spiritual at all, with any kind of slant. Maybe that is what you meant? 😇
Yeah, the carnal mind cannot see the things of the spirit, so when Jesus would give ‘them’ a metaphor, use a parable, it was a pretty good bet they wouldn’t really get it. Even the disciples had to ask over and over for clarification for their minds, even after spending three years in His Presence were not spiritually minded ... YET. I enjoyed the one where Jesus tells them to beware the leaven of the Pharisees, and they immediately murmured among themselves that He was referring to their forgetting to bring along bread to eat. They were just coming from Him feeding thousadns with a few little loaves! ... And of course Passover was just ahead, when unleavened bread would be served.
