A New York pastor surprised churchgoers with the extraordinary revelation that he is transitioning into a woman and will now use she/her pronouns. Reverend Phil Phaneuf, 51, who was born male, shared that she has been undergoing a gender transition with her congregation at North Chili United Methodist Church (UMC) during Sunday service. 'I get to announce with joy that I am transitioning. I am affirming and saying to all of you that I am transgender,' the veteran pastor, wearing a rainbow stole, declared this past Sunday. ,

Don’t call HIM a her or a she!! It is not true, and he is under a huge, destructive delusion. May the Lord have mercy on him, for rebellion against God and His word, and against the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which he is “ordained” to uphold!! May he repent and flee from the wrath to come!

I thought religious leaders were to set an example for their parish. I will not say it should not have surgery and undergo transition, that is between him and his God. However, I will say that he should not be allowed to be a role model for those in his church and community, as religious leaders should be, as he is setting a poor example for those who look up to him.
The sooner we do away with this gender surgery quackery, the happier we will be. There is no ability to change one's body through surgery and meds to become another sex; you are what God made you.

Annnnnd, of course, Sonya goes right along with the female pronouns. Ironically, she’s attempting to virtue-signal. If I were to identify as a cat, do you think she’d still be willing to use my feline descriptors? Is the emperor naked, Sonya?
For the record, I’m not a cat.

If you are a "cradle Methodist," and are appalled at the UMC, look into the new Global Methodist Church. I feel blessed each Sunday at worship with our faithful GMC pastor who left his UMC church to shepherd our new church.

Deranged dude, don't you remember these words from your formation?
Receive the Word of God.
Believe what you read,
Teach what you believe, and
Practice what you teach.
Your ideology is incoherent and irreconcilable with the Gospel of Christ. But if you're going to pretend to be a woman, I guess you won't have qualms about pretending to still be a pastor.
Lord, have mercy; Reverend Phil has no stinkin' clue what he's doing.

Of course, a Methodist church. John Wesley’s denomination has gone down a dark road generations ago. It’s apostate.

If those photos are him, he's had more than hormone therapy. Hw also says he has only had three months of hormone therapy. It is a lifelong regimen. He also says he was pretending to be a man. No, he was a mixed up man. He is now pretending to be a woman.
This aging fool should have gotten himself a red convertible.

A man 'transitioning' to become a 'woman'? Puh-leeze. That's SO 2021. Now, if he were to grow a pair, THAT would be news

So many are midlife crisis guys. He's 51. Is it possible that ED has caused them to decide to try something new?

This is one of the reasons why there was a split in the United Methodist Church. UMC honors perversion. GMC honors the Bible.
