The documentary “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture” claims that one human error 75 years ago stoked decades of homophobia and hate. Extremists don’t want you to see it.
The first time the word “homosexual” appeared in the Bible was in 1946. That year, a committee gathered to translate an updated English version of the book from the Greek. Religious scholars, priests, theologists, linguists, anthropologists, and activists have done decades of research and investigation into the instances where the word appears in the book. Their conclusion is that it was a mistranslation.
In other words, the Biblical assertion that homosexuality is a sin—the catalyst for an entire shift in culture, with political repercussions, religious implications, consequences for LGBT rights and acceptance, and, frankly, deadly results—was, they allege, a mistake.
As a new film asserts, it was “the misuse of a single word that changed the course of history.”
1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture is a new documentary directed by Sharon “Rocky” Roggio. Ahead of its premiere this week at the DOC NYC festival, it has, as one might expect, gone viral within the conservative and Christian communities.

Uh-huh.
‘Nuff said.

This is dishonest gibberish. The Bible plainly teaches sodomy is a sin throughout, from Genesis through the New Testament. Harping on a single word choice distracts from a truth that has been taught for millenia.
It’s a sin in every religion.
The first time the word “homosexual” appeared in the Bible was in 1946.
The stupid is strong with this one.
Nonsense - as such things are mentioned many times over as being outside the norms of sexual morality without that specific term being mentioned - specifically saying men having relations with men and women with women is unnatural. Doesn’t exactly leave any room for ambiguity. Was all of that “mistranslated” as well?
it’s not in the KJV but it’s completely clear that homosexual behavior, which is described quite graphically, is an abomination.
But it is in a “documentary” - so it must be true.
According to the Bible, MAN and a WOMAN was created.
Not two MALES.
Not two FEMALES.
The Bible is backed by other non-Christian texts, as well.
A MALE AND A WOMAN.
An XY and XX.
The use of ‘homosexual’ was not a mistake.
Not a sin in the Aztec religion.
Not a sin in the Roman or Greek Pantheon.
Not a sin in most African paganism.
All religions are not alike.
The miracle we have experienced in America is a combination of Christianity and Capitalism...
Homosexuality is mentioned many time in the bible. It is always condemned as being sinful and always has. For example,
“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” - Leviticus 18:22 (KJV) The King James Bible was published in 1611.
B.S.
Complete and total gaslighting
That’s silly, the Bible spells it out in several different ways in many places. 1) Can’t get around the fact homosexualiy is an abomination. 2) Jesus paid the death sentence for all sin, for those that repent and put thier trust in him.
I remember when there were only two genders….
Yes. Remember how accepting society was of that before 1946.
What about in Deuteronomy?
It looks like more than one word was mistranslated.
It has long been known that the concept of a “homosexual” as a distinct KIND of person is unknown to the Bible, and that the word is a relatively recent invention. But the Bible clearly rejects specific ACTIONS which are now associated with homosexuality, one of which is described as “lying with a man as with a woman,” and marriage is defined as involving male and female, not people of the same gender. The use of the term “homosexual” in the Bible is a kind of verbal shortcut intended to avoid ancient figures of speech describing prohibited sexual activity.
