I appreciate how you talk about reading scripture within its cultural context and not taking it as a personal letter to a modern day reader. Often when there is an emphasis on spiritual maturity, it's used as a binary. Either we're there or we're not. And it can be a cover for not embracing a process of growth and "being," as you said.
