The Word 'Homosexual' Was NEVER in the Bible!
Today, we are going to talk about one word… “homosexual.” And how it was never in the Bible. Nope, NEVER!
A handful of verses in the Bible have been falsely taught and used to propagate modern homophobia and transphobia. But, guess what? The words homosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender were never actually in the Bible!
That all changed in 1946 when an American Bible company mistranslated two ancient Greek words. And this mistake became the foundation of the anti-LGBTQ+ culture that still exists today!
