    Queer Daughter of Baptist Pastor

    This documentary thought provokingly challenges us to think critically and discover the history behind the mistranslated Bible passages. So much of my life I've felt ashamed of who God made me to be and who I love. While I've deconstructed my faith over the years in so many ways, I still love God, but conflicted. I've always been so hurt by those passages in the Bible. This documentary puts into light the human error in the contemporary translations that have shunned so many LGBTQIA+ people from the church. If anything, this documentary reaffirmed my relationship with God. Through watching this, I've started exploring different aspects of faith. I ask questions and think more critically.

    Changing lives

    This movie was so well done and the pill it offers may be hard for deeply religious people to swallow. It brings hope to many families who have ostracized children cousins, uncles and others because of this manipulation of the book that so many follow. I believe that this movie should be screened around the world. The specific use of words has always held a powerful magic in our history as humans. This movie shows the heart and spirit of the bigger story, the story of real people and real deeds. But most of all, it defeats the power play that has been shouted from many pulpits and ruined many lives. May the healing begin.

    Anyone who reads the Bible needs this information!

    My wife and I just had a chance to see the film last week after hearing many things about it. I have multiple theological degrees, teach at a theological seminary, and train religious leaders all around the country. I know for a fact that almost none of the hundreds of religious leaders I work with have any of the knowledge that's contained in this film. It has been well hidden from the public eye, creating an incredible amount of harm to the LGBTQ+ community. This film holds the power to influence many people toward a more loving stance toward this incredibly divisive issue. I truly hope this film makes it into broader circulation so that all can hear about a translation issue that has created deep harm to other humans.

    Essential documentary for anyone with history around the Bible

    I just finished this movie. It was absolutely incredible as it followed three regular people who had a storied history with the Bible discover that translations are not always accurate. Very thoughtful, engaging, and hope-filled while exposing the impact of a mistranslation that literally shifted culture, as the title demonstrates. As I finish this movie, I grieve over whole denominations, families, and universities that have split over the treatment of our LGBTQ relatives. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves the Bible, hates the Bible, or has a storied history of the Bible. It will expand your perspective. Very well done.

    excellent! Knowledge that should be high school requirement.

    This changes everything, humbly showing both sides, without compromising my faith. I understand and receive these facts. It's pretty simple stuff. I'm so glad I didn't turn my straight heart away from this life-changing information. Even as a boomer, I can grow.

    I'm adding more words here only because it is required... I am a great grandmother, raised Christian but didn't get serious about my relationship with God until I was 37. Since then I have studied the Bible a lot. I disagreed with the rejection of loving, gay, citizens from my large Baptist Church. But I deeply regret sitting quietly, appearing to agree with that stoic, hateful mindset. Seeing this film, receiving these beautifully presented facts, how could anyone ignore that the Bible was wrongfully altered in 1946. This is a must watch! I've seen it twice now and believe this should be a requirement in high school. Yes, to graduate and move forward. It is that essential!

    Let us no longer be minions and just flow with a text that was altered AFTER our country was founded. It is for liberty Christ came to set us free.

    This film has empowered me to rightly educate my children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren.
