 You mean that Jesus didn't imply (Luke 19:27) that those who didn't
 accept him were to be murdered?

 You mean that in Acts 5:10 a man refusing to give all of his money
 to the apostles was NOT reviled and killed by Peter, was it also
 done to the wife of the man when she came looking for him?

 You mean that in Exodus 32:14 it doesn't state that God does evil?

 You mean that in Isaiah 45:7 it doesn't state that God creates
 evil?

 You mean that in Jeremiah 26:3 it doesn't state that God inflicts
 evil?

 You mean that in Lamentations 3:38 it doesn't say that evil comes
 from the mouth of God?

 You mean that in Mark 4:11-12 it doesn't say that Jesus withheld
 his teachings from the gentiles (by speaking in parables) so that
 only the jews could get conversion and forgiveness for their sins?

 You mean that in Joshua 7:20-26 that Archen, who kept some of his
 spoil of conquest for himself rather than turning it over to the
 priests, was not stoned and burned to death along with his innocent
 sons and daughters, that God may be happy?

 You mean that God didn't order Saul (I Samuel 15:3-4) to kill all
 the Amalekites, including women, infants, and suckling babes?

 Etcetera, etcetera . . . how many examples more do you want?  Seems
 pretty clear to me that Jim Jones was absolutely in touch with the
 teachings/policies of Yahweh/Jesus.
