Re: Gal 2:19 Χριστῷ συνεσταύρωμαι
Not to venture too much into theology here, but you're assuming way more than what's in evidence in this assertion.Since they are talking about the same thing/event, we know that συνεσταύρωμαι is used in passive sense.

Re: Rom 8:7 - εχθρα εις θεον

Re: Questions about Mark 2:23
David: I'm not sure I see any real difference between sabbath singular and sabbath plural, even in the context you cited.

Re: Mark 1:27
Here, the present infinitive is relative to the main verb, the present tense showing that the action is contemporaneous with that of the main verb.
