Perhaps more likely that he is not using formal accounting labels, & one is an asset account & the other is not?

If indeed your transactions were entered backwards, you can go through each one and put a minus sign in front of each and every debit and credit amount and they will swap sides after tabbing through. (there might be an easier way to swap them, but I'm not aware of such)

There's no such thing as a negative debit or negative credit. They are simply the 'negative' of each other which is why GnuCash will swap the value to the opposite column if you put a minus sign on a value. (you are either increasing or decreasing an account's balance, you can't 'negative increase' or 'negative decrease' it.)

Note, you probably want to turn on View > Transaction Journal while doing this so you see all splits in a transaction. Be sure to reverse every single split in every transaction or else you'll have a mess of Imbalance entries to deal with.

I have two accounts for my PCC using GnuCash, one is the general
church fund and the other is the buiding fund.

For some odd reason the Debit and Credit column labels are the wrong
way round on the building fund, other reports are OK.  What's going on?
