An Episcopal priest is claiming that Jesus “transitioned” after the Resurrection.
The priest, a transgender and nonbinary woman by the name of Flourish Klink, made the declaration at Christ & St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in New York City.
“God is nonbinary,” the leader stated. “But I’m going to go further than that, and I’m going to say God is actually also trans.”
“When we trans people are born, folks assign us a gender based on what they see. Then, when we’re old enough, we realize that wasn’t right and we’re not, in our deepest selves, the gender that everyone thought we were, right?” Klink argued.
“Reasonable working definition of a trans person, yeah? Okay, good.” Klink then began arguing why “God is trans.”
“When God, who as we have established is nonbinary, was born in human form as our Lord Jesus Christ, Mary said, ‘Oh look, a baby boy,’” Klink said. “God isn’t a boy, we have established this. God is beyond boy and girl. God was assigned a gender at birth, and later on it became clear that that gender wasn’t quite right.”
“So if you’re going [to] deny that God is trans, I think you’re going to be denying the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I have some notes about that,” the priest said, going on to argue that Jesus “transitioned” upon His resurrection.
“But based on everything else I know about God, I have an idea: I think Jesus was resurrected as Jesus’ true self, which is beyond male or female. I think Jesus was not only transfigured; I think Jesus transitioned,” she claimed.
The progressive sermon mirrors comments made by Texas Senate Democratic candidate James Talarico’s pastor, who argued that Jesus “maybe” rose from dead.
