Right; we already established that about you. (Edit: with peace and love of course lol.)

If you concede that some parts of scripture belong to developmental stages, then you somehow already acknowledged that this scripture is not divine. I am no expert of christian theology, however.
I think many Christians would agree with that; but I personally don't. I think the moral foundations of Christianity are constant, like you mentioned, but that their application is not, and can/does progress.
As an analogy, we can say that in the past century America has progressed in terms of civil rights (blacks, women, etc). But that the moral foundation of "justice" has not. We've simply realized more things can be fit under the same umbrellas, and other things don't belong.
