I received this email last night. “Jo River” (short for Jordan River?) wants to mail me information about his angry brand of Christianity.

I did visit the website where he/she promotes his/her fanatical faith.

And I found it to be quite interesting…

According to AggressiveChristianity.net, the ministry was started by James and Deborah Green, a duo who calls themselves “The Generals”.

Every vision has a beginning. In 1979 James and Deborah Green entered the prayer closet and God was there. Speaking to them prophetically, He made it clear that He was raising up an army–His Spirit army. True, there had been other armies claiming the Lord’s name, but this was something new. It was by the prophetic Word of the Lord that the Aggressive Vision came to be. Believing what God had said, the Generals took it to heart and began to give their lives so they could live their lives to fulfill the vision. True to His Word, after many years of seeking and sacrifice, determination and hard work, God has brought into existence an army. And that’s just the beginning. Over the years God has expanded and embellished the vision, bringing others into the revelation as well, until today God’s Holy Tribal Nation shines like a beacon on a high mountain, lifting others up and calling people around the world to give their lives in His service. Yes, God is raising up His army, an army of fearless, obedient disciples–The Army That Sheds No Blood! This is how the Aggressive Vision came to be. The Word of the Lord shall never fail!

And then, according to this site that claims to be quoting the Albuquerque Journal, James “The General” Green came out of his prayer closet in 2005 and went to jail for charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. And apparently, the fight that broke out was between family members…

The 60-year-old leader of a reclusive religious sect spent four days in the Cibola County Detention Center last week after being arrested Oct. 29 on charges aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after a family feud apparently turned violent.

But by last Friday, “General” James Green — released from jail last Wednesday after posting 10 percent of a $25,000 bond — appeared to have been reconciled with his wife, 58-year-old Deborah Green, also a “general” in what the group calls “The Army That Sheds No Blood,” according to the Gallup Independent Web site.

James Green was arrested at the group’s rural hideaway near Fence Lake in southwestern Cibola County after he allegedly attacked two members — his 42-year-old son-in-law Peter Green and 55-year-old Phillip Jordan — who in turn allegedly beat the “general” with walking sticks, the Independent reported last week.

A bloodied James Green was jailed after getting 40 stitches in his head from the fracas.

A sheriff’s department report said Green had returned after several days’ absence to the Shim Ra Na Holy Tribal Nation compound to retrieve some belongings and ordered people present to leave, the Independent reported. At some point, Green allegedly threatened to kill his wife and the two men, according to the Independent’s account of the sheriff’s report.

But by Friday, both James and Deborah Green told the paper they had apologized to each other and were trying for a reconciliation. In addition, Deborah Green said she was retracting her earlier report to police that her husband threatened her with murder.

Uh, yeah, I’m not send them my mailing address.

People do some crazy stuff in the name of God… go check out their website… how a few minutes in a prayer closet turned into the junk Christianity that they promote now is beyond me.

And why do these types of ministries seem to often be headquartered in New Mexico?
