Strange how your god seems to have a communication problem - you would think that if a supreme being had rules that He expected to be followed then he would be crystal clear about them, and no "context" from the likes of you would be needed.
The fact that you admit that the bible needs "context" and "real understanding" to be understood the way you want it to be, is very telling.

When critically interpreting ANY ancient text, careful attention must be paid to the context in which it was written. You just can't pull a passage out of context and apply it however you want.
