You are right that the Bible does not make some distinctions and is missing a lot of neeeed commentary; in my opinion this makes the Bible unclear. I point you to Phoenix Journals for a comprehensive text that discloses truth and news/history in literal/rational language of discourse and teaching suitable for this day and age.

Edit: By the way, I still disagree with you about a "jealous/wrathful God"; God is love, and you have called my God the Devil without even so much as pointing out where God's messenger is telling you to do evil.
