LOVE THY NEIGHBOR
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.

My understanding is that the word homosexual did not come into existence till the last half of the 19th century so it’s no surprise that it isn’t in older translations of the Bible and wasn’t used in an English translation of the Bible till 1946.
Yes even I a sort of secularist know that, check Romans 1.
Sorry but nonsense, Pretty damn clear where the Bible stands on homosexuality... KJV written in 1611.. While the actual word homosexual didn’t even exist until 1868..
The bible is quite clear in multiple places about homosexuality being sinful.
While someone is free to reject Christianity, these folks lying about what the Bible says quite clearly about homosexuality needs to be called out.
Some Old Testament:
Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
And some New Testament:
Romans 1:27 - And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Word didn’t even exist until 1868... Bible is very clear that the behavior is a sin, it is called out in both the old and new testament versus.
This argument is nonsense.
The term "homosexual" probably didn't exist in 1611, when the KJV was published. "Sodomite" would more likely have been the term that was used.
I did a speed read/scan of the Daily Beast article looking for citation of specific verses the “meticulous researchers” were citing as “mistranslated.” I saw nothing.
I didn’t see verses, books, or even which testaments had the mistranslated words.
I can hardly wait for their follow-up documentary on the mistranslation of the Ten Commandments.
They will be held accountable for their lies in both this life and before the Lord.
Homos is Greek meaning "one and the same." Homo in Latin means "man" or "human being" (of either sex--as opposed to vir meaning a male person)--as in Homo sapiens. The adjective humanus "human" comes from homo.
Leviticus 18:22
King James
22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination
New Living Translation
22“Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.
So, they are technically right about the usage of the word “homosexual”, they are totally wrong about the Bible not proscribing homosexual practices.
Homosexual as a word didn’t exist until 1868... this entire argument is nonsense.
The bible is quite clear in both the old and new testaments that homsexuality is a sin, period.
This idiotic attempt to claim otherwise is just more lying.
Anyone is free to live their life however they desire, however anyone claiming the bible doesn’t say homosexuality is a sin is a flat out liar.
Romans in the new testament also covers it quite well.
Those that argue the bible (in both the new and old testaments) do not claim homosexuality is a sin are just liars, period.
OH... some commie, pinko, homosexual has figured out a translation that every single Biblical translator to this point has simply missed!
Wow, so glad this person finally has it right... (in opposition to the entire rest of the Bible).
This is even dumber than the morons who thought Abraham could not have domestic camels.
Homosexual behavior has been outlawed for centuries. The word itself did not exist certainly in Bible days but the behavior is described over and over in the Bible.
Check out the first chapter of Romans.
Lots of revisionists leaf through their Greek lexicons looking for loopholes. Many words in old Koine Greek had flexible meanings and could be translated in mildly differing ways. As with many idle academic playthings, it can be suited to whatever bias you want it to be.
There are, I believe, seven passages in the Bible which distinctly condemn homosexual behavior.

This mess again? This is old and debunked news.
I don’t recall “homosexual” in the version I read. I do recall “man who lays with man” or “man who lays with animal.”
Our “Hate Jews” Democrat, Joe Biden, along with his ex-boss Barack Obama, another Jew Hater......cannot stand Bibi Netanyahu!!! Amazing, that American Jews are so inclined to be members of the Democrat Party in the USA. Goodness knows Trump was the greatest American gift Israeli Jews have ever had!!! Go figure!!!
Romans 1: 18-32 (NKJV):For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
I don’t need to concern myself about a “mistake in the translation of a word,” to know that homosexual love is an abomination.
The queers will continue to force the acceptance of queer behavior. It is who they are!
They want “protected class status!”
