Those are Acts of the flesh that are evidences that they are dead to God and spiritual things.
No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

Dead in the sense of separated, not in the sense that nothing at all can be done.

This confirms me, life is b4 activity, like hearing and believing. Jesus in Chapter 8 tells us who hears His word in Vs 47
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. The hearing in Jn 5:24 is spiritual and only can be done by the regenerate

The acts of the flesh war against the Spirit see Gal 5 and Rom 7
Um, and those who believe then receive the Spirit
John 7:38–39 —KJV
“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”
Gal. 3:2 —KJV
“This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
Gal. 3:5 —KJV
“He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”
Galatians 3:14 (KJV 1900)
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Acts 2:38
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Eph 1:13–14
in whom also you, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also when you believed you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the down payment of our inheritance, until the redemption of the possession, to the praise of his glory.
Acts 11:15–17
And as I was beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as also on us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ Therefore if God gave them the same gift as also to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to be able to hinder God?”
You failed to address these
Wrong again
As in the New covenant
John 12:32 (KJV 1900) — 32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Romans 10:6–10 (KJV 1900) — 6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.As for Eph 2:8
Ephesians 2:8–9 (KJV 1900) — 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
It is still through faith you are saved.
So faith logically precedes salvation.
Yes, but it shows a man spiritually dead is not like a man in the grave who can do nothing.

When man is spiritually dead, he acts in opposition to the spiritual things of God, that is the symptoms of spiritual death. Like Romans 8:7 says naturally we are at enmity against God, that is active.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
As long as we're unregenerate that is how it is
You ignored the scriptures I had posted
Um, and those who believe then receive the Spirit

And until one receives the Spirit, he is unregenerate.
