1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture is a rabid pro-LGBTQ+ propaganda documentary that maintains the word “homosexual” is a mistranslation found in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and it was never intended to be part of the Bible. It also argues that homosexuality is not condemned in Scripture. The movie further falsely claims that the Bible is an invention of straight white males as a weapon to silence and oppress LGBTQ+ people.
Nothing could be further from the truth...
The film claims the Revised Standard Version of the Bible (RSV) wrongly inserted the word “homosexuals” in a New Testament passage in 1946. Although the RSV translators changed the term in 1971, the film claims that subsequent English translations followed the RSV’s lead, incorrectly using the word “homosexuals,” which has led to decades of mistreatment and marginalization of the LGBTQ community.
Once again, Disney seems oblivious to the dark reality of what they call entertainment. (See a more in-depth discussion in an earlier post noted here…)
LBGTQ+ advocates, like the ones who created this film, are quick to point out that Paul incorrectly “invented” a new Greek word... arsenokoitai. Claiming that the word is not used in Greek literature elsewhere, they reject any scripture that treats homosexuality as sinful behavior.
The term arsenokoitai is formed by combining two Greek words, arsen, meaning “male,” and koite, meaning “lying.” Arsenokoitai literally means “men who lie with a male.” Since that is what male homosexuals do, it’s plain to see why legitimate translations use that term to mean “homosexuals.”
LGBTQ+ rights supporters have gone so far as to champion their own translation... the Queen James Bible, also known as the gay bible... a rank perversion of the original text to make homosexual practices appear acceptable to God.
1 Corinthians 6:9 aside, other Biblical passages are clear that homosexuality is not acceptable in the eyes of God...
In the Old Testament:
Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable. (Leviticus 18:22)
If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable... (Leviticus 20:13)
The prohibition also appears in the book of Romans...
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. (Romans 1:26–27)
The filmmakers want you to believe that homosexual sex is biblically permitted, which it is not. Taking one verse out of context to prove a point is a favorite tactic of those who would deceive.
Sadly, there will be many who will be deceived by this film. I hope, dear reader, that you will not be one of them. Scripture warns us that a day will come when even some who call themselves Christians will reject His teachings...
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts. (2 Timothy 4:3)
Our defense against this is simple… Read, study, and know the Bible to protect yourself with the truth… without it, one can fall prey to falsehoods like these.
If you would like to support my efforts in writing posts, I would be wholly grateful if you could “buy me a coffee" as a small way to help cover the expenses of maintaining this blog. Thank you in advance!
I've reposted this on Twitter.
I'm a great fan of movies from the forties and early fifties and it makes me sad that these classic movies all pictured traditional Christianity in a positive light. Now, if Christ (or Christians) are even mentioned in modern Hollywood movies, it's a joke. Everything has been redefined to suit Satan and to set the stage for the final confrontation between good and evil.
Disney was once a great force for good in the world.
Great and Restacked!
