What if the word “homosexual” was never meant to be in the bible? This is the question being asked by our guest Sharon “Rocky” Roggio, Producer and Director of 1946: The Mistranslation that Shaped a Culture. If the word “Homosexual” wasn't even invented until 1868, how could it have been written into the bible without the influence of modern society? Hear about when and how homosexuality as a sin was introduced, and how 1946 seeks to change the narrative built in that pivotal moment.
