Like any analogy you have to take it with a grain of salt. I simply used it to point out that the Spirit does not eliminate our natural gifts, he empowers them to be used by God. As Evangelical has rightly pointed out, if we try to use our natural gifts without the Spirit to do something for God, it will usually end badly. "Without me you can do nothing."
