50: Was "Homosexual" Mistranslated In The Bible?

Hey Bessie, send us a text message!More than 45,000 churches today still preach that homosexuality is a sin, citing biblical references that condemn “homosexuals.” What would change if churches discovered the truth — that the word “homosexual” was added to the Bible in 1946 by mistake? The film is entitled 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted A Culture.  1946 was the first time the word “homosexual” found itself in the Bible. But what if that word was never meant to be in the Bible in the first place? The first part of this episode has us discussing how we found the film’s trailer on YouTube and the emotional impact just watching the trailer had on us. Our emotions were shared by hundreds of people commenting about how this new research and film might change their lives. We talk about why this movie personally resonates with us as Filipino queer people. Rocky Roggio, the film’s director, honors us with a conversation about her film. She shares how she might have been unwittingly preparing to do this project her whole life, what the extensive research by experts have revealed about the topic so far, and where they are in the post-production process. Pseudo-trigger warning for the weak-hearted: If you don’t want your faith challenged, stay away. Interview with Rocky Roggio starts @ 11:00 markWatch the official film trailer here.
