Hmm what kind of "New Testament" do you own? I've seen fake New Testament on the atheist/fiction center at my local barnes & noble. Real New Testaments, you see nothing but love.

II wish every single person on Earth behaved like Christ.
Then you necessarily want to break up families, deport people you disagree with, and throw people into furnaces for not believing. Some love you got there!
You make a very good point! And obviously is must be true because eyewitnesses, people who new Jim Jones were obviously willing, not just to die for their belief in him, but to actively kill themselves. They can't have been wrong, because they were there!

I've only seen that level of dedication elsewhere in the Girl Scouts, with cookie sellers who don't meet the required quota of sales.
And yes - Jesus believed in an impending apocalypse, which is why he told his followers to leave their families, quit their jobs, etc, etc. He was teaching an interim ethics to be practiced between then and the End Times. Of course - the End Times did NOT come in his adherents lifetime, so we rarely hear about these interim ethics being preached as something to be followed. The Church had to tone down his more apocalyptic sayings in order to remain active. It wouldn't do well if all their members quit their jobs, never married, stopped having children, etc...
And yes - it's in every "real" New Testament, as the others have pointed out.
