The Christian Optimist
Was "homosexual" invented in 1946 due to a bad Bible translation?

In this episode Pastor Raef digs into a new claim widely circulating online, and soon coming out with a full documentary, claiming that the Christian position against homosexuality is simply due to a mistranslation of a bible in 1946. Is this true? How can we know if it isn't. Further, we will dig into two ministries that have become quite popular among the gay community, Revoice Conference, and Preston Sprinkle's Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender, and discuss why these ministries are so dangerous for the Church.
