One is sanctified when he is cleansed, which occurs when his faith leads him to demonstrate the death and resurrection of Christ in the washing of water (i.e., burial in water — Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12) by means of the instruction of “the word” (Ephesians 5:26; 1 Corinthians 6:11). The “water” is an allusion to baptism, as virtually all scholars concede.How can you speak of dishonesty when your still cutting up verses and misrepresenting them?
its simply due to the fact that i have absolutely no respect for those verses but even if i did have respect for the verses that paul was responsible for why do you think im talking about dishonesty ? i think your honestly representing christian views toward homosexuality you represent the hypocritical christian who discriminates against gays even though jesus never spoke against homosexuality even though it was a widespread practice during his time and even though he spoke against many different social problems he never spoke against that .

Ah! I get it, you do not understand the word 'perfect'. You are using it as a verb when the context I provided tells you to use it as an adjective.
ok so by "perfect" your actually meaning flawed and corrupt by 10-30% due to inevitable translation errors and thats the best that christianity can do is to be satisfied with the errors . well some people are not interested in corrupted bibles and are not even convinced that the bible that was written in greek is honest and legitimate because of pauls spin and for a variety of other reasons , to even accept the legitimacy of the very first greek bible why should anyone believe what is in that and why should we believe these people who say they witnessed and wrote down what this man called "jesus" said and taught ?
why should we believe that he was part God what evidence do you have that any part of it is the truth ? it wasnt written by an unbiased observer everything was written by followers of jesus decades after he died to the best of their memory each with their own spin , paul being the most contradictory but why would any of it have any value even in the greek language ? there are a lot of cults just because people believe something doesnt make it true .
paul wrote romans great why would anyone have any interest in something that a con man wrote ,you see its not confusion about romans its just a complete lack of interest in it due to the fact its not respected as the truth - jim jones wrote a bunch of stuff too should we go into an in depth study about his writings and have a serious discussion about them? IF jesus is God and paul is accurately writing the truth everyone is interested in knowing the truth - but first show that it is the truth and that its worth studying at all .
