CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Isn't it possible that the word could have multiple meanings depending on the context surrounding it's use? In the verse you provided I would like to think that the use of the word sanctified is to convey the idea of being set apart.

One of the study resources I have is a Bible annotated by Spiros Zodhiates. Mr. Zodhiates native tongue is Greek. He decided to dedicate significant part of his life to assembling resources for the Bible student. He has some somewhat tedious and meticulous notes on sanctification. But here are some highlights:
to be clean
to make clean
to hallow
to dedicate
...
It signifies an act or a state in which people or things are set aside for use in the worship of God.
