Actually God has killed a lot of people. He literally made a super box of death that killed you if you touched it for any reason. He also blew cities and their populations off the face of the Earth, drowned a whole army in an inland sea and on several occasions dispatched angels who killed thousands in a single night. Granted this was in the old testemant, but its the same guy in both books, and it is said in the Bible that God is unchanging, so he would still kill things in order to protect the eventual salvation of the faithful (which is what you can trace pretty much all of God's actions in the Bible back to).

Though I need to ask, are we talking about Jesus as in the man, or Jesus as in God? Because as a man he had no special powers at all. Every miracle he performed was by chanelling the powers of his father (and thus also sort of himself) through his human body. It's the same way prophets or anybody else performs miracles, just that in this case Jesus was both power source and lighting rod, and yet sort of not at the same time. It's a little confusing.

Plus, in all likelyhood God does not exist in 40k, since he doesn't seem to have any followers or anyone preaching his doctrine, something he wouldn't allow if it were within his power to prevent, which would only happen if he did not exist, as by his nature he must have the power to intervene.
