What does 1 Corinthians 2:15 mean?

When Paul talks about being "spiritual" here, he means someone whose life is guided by God's Spirit rather than by selfish or worldly desires. Such a person develops insight into what truly matters, what's real, and what God values, so they can understand situations and people with wisdom that others might miss. The second part might sound strange at first, but Paul isn't saying spiritual people are above accountability. Rather, he means that people who lack this spiritual perspective can't properly evaluate or judge someone who does have it, because they're operating from a completely different framework. It's like asking someone tone-deaf to critique a musician's technique. If you're struggling to recognize what God is doing in your own life, you won't see it clearly in someone else's either.
